[media] DVB: dvb_frontend: fix delayed thread exit
There are some issues and miss-behaves at the dvb fe thread: 1) dvb_shutdown_timeout should be dvb_shutdown_timeout * HZ instead of (dvb_shutdown_timeout * HZ + 1); 2) add a memory barrier to warrant that all CPU's will consider the new value for release_jiffies; 3) wake up dvb thread also when fepriv->exit == DVB_FE_NO_EXIT.
