[media] v4l2-fh: add v4l2_fh_open and v4l2_fh_release helper functions
Add two new functions: v4l2_fh_open allocates and initializes a struct v4l2_fh based on a struct file pointer and v4l2_fh_release releases and frees a struct v4l2_fh. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
