vb2: fix 'UNBALANCED' warnings when calling vb2_thread_stop()
commit 0e661006370b7e7fb9ac9d94f9c3500a62cd559b upstream. Stopping the vb2 thread (as used by several DVB devices) can result in an 'UNBALANCED' warning such as this: vb2: counters for queue ffff880407ee9828: UNBALANCED! vb2: setup: 1 start_streaming: 1 stop_streaming: 1 vb2: wait_prepare: 249333 wait_finish: 249334 This is due to a race condition between stopping the thread and calling vb2_internal_streamoff(). While I have not been able to deduce the exact mechanism how this race condition can produce this warning, I can see that the way the stream is stopped is likely to lead to a race somewhere. This patch simplifies how this is done by first ensuring that the thread is completely stopped before cleaning up the vb2 queue. It does that by setting threadio->stop to true, followed by a call to vb2_queue_error() which will wake up the thread. The thread sees that 'stop' is true and it will exit. The call to kthread_stop() waits until the thread has exited, and only then is the queue cleaned up by calling __vb2_cleanup_fileio(). This is a much cleaner sequence and the warning has now disappeared.
