[PATCH] cx23885/vb2 regression: please test this patch

[Hans Verkuil]

Hi Raimonds, Jurgen,

Can you both test this patch? It should (I hope) solve the problems you
both had with the cx23885 driver.

This patch fixes a race condition in the vb2_thread that occurs when
the thread is stopped. The crucial fix is calling kthread_stop much
earlier in vb2_thread_stop(). But I also made the vb2_thread more
robust.

Regards,

        Hans
