This change significantly rearranges pvr2_context level initialization
and operation:
1. A new kernel thread is set up for management of the context.
2. Destruction of the pvr2_context instance is moved into the kernel
thread. No other context is able to remove the instance; doing
this simplifies lock handling.
3. The callback into pvrusb2-main, which is used to trigger
initialization of each interface, is now issued from this kernel
thread. Previously it had been indirectly issued out of the work
queue thread in pvr2_hdw, which led to deadlock issues if the
interface needed to change a control setting (which in turn
requires dispatch of another work queue entry).
4. Callbacks into the interfaces (via the pvr2_channel structure) are
now issued strictly from this thread. The net result of this is
that such callback functions can now also safely operate driver
controls without deadlocking the work queue. (At the moment this
is not actually a problem, but I'm anticipating issues with this in
the future).
5. There is no longer any need for anyone to enter / exit the
pvr2_context structure. Implementation of the kernel thread here
allows this all to be internal now, simplifying other logic.
6. A very very longstanding issue involving a mutex deadlock between
the pvrusb2 driver and v4l should now be solved. The deadlock
involved the pvr2_context mutex and a globals-protecting mutex in
v4l. During initialization the driver would take the pvr2_context
mutex first then the v4l2 interface would register with v4l and
implicitly take the v4l mutex. Later when v4l would call back into
the driver, the two mutexes could possibly be taken in the opposite
order, a situation that can lead to deadlock. In practice this
really wasn't an issue unless a v4l app tried to start VERY early
after the driver appeared. However it still needed to be solved,
and with the use of the kernel thread relieving need for
pvr2_context mutex, the problem should be finally solved.

This is a new implementation for video pipeline control within the
pvrusb2 driver. Actual start/stop of the pipeline is moved to the
driver's kernel thread. Pipeline stages are controlled autonomously
based on surrounding pipeline or application control state. Kernel
thread management is also cleaned up and moved into the internal
control structure of the driver, solving a set up / tear down race
along the way. Better failure recovery is implemented with this new
control strategy. Also with this change comes better control of the
cx23416 encoder, building on additional information learned about the
peculiarities of controlling this part (this information was the
original trigger for this rework). With this change, overall encoder
stability should be considerably improved. Yes, this is a large
change for this driver, but due to the nature of the feature being
worked on, the changes are fairly pervasive and would be difficult to
break into smaller pieces with any semblence of step-wise stability.

It's useful to see specific details for how the pvrusb2 driver is
figuring out things related to the video standard, independent of
other initialization activities. So let's set up a separate debug
mask bit for this and turn it on.

Implement V4L2 driver for the Hauppauge PVR USB2 TV tuner.
The Hauppauge PVR USB2 is a USB connected TV tuner with an embedded
cx23416 hardware MPEG2 encoder. There are two major variants of this
device; this driver handles both. Any V4L2 application which
understands MPEG2 video stream data should be able to work with this
device.
