V4L/DVB (5038): Pvrusb2: Implement stream claim checking function
Add (and expose) a new function, pvr2_channel_check_stream_no_lock(), in pvrusb2-context.c. This is hopefully the last V4L2 interface related patch to change anything outside pvrusb2-v4l2.c. We need this to implement the open() for the radio device. The reason is that within the *enter_context() section of open() we need to ensure nobody is streaming and if we cannot, we should cleanup after ourselves and return -EBUSY. We cannot just use claim_stream() because: 1) That would cause a deadlock trying to re-acquire the context lock 2) We only need to ensure that nobody is streaming. We don't need to actually acquire the stream. Again, this is a kinda ugly patch. Feel free to improve.
