Yes, this patch breaks the balance of _init()/_cleanup(), but this is for
a greater good. It is very hard to remove the devnode and cleanup the
media_device struct when multiple drivers can use it. The best way to
warrant that we'll be doing that is via kref.

That patch was written to avoid a race trouble of having the media
devnode to initialize too early. Merging them back would cause troubles.
Maybe what we could do, instead, is to rename media_device_init()
to media_device_register(), and call the function that creates the
devnode as media_device_create_devnode().
What do you think?
