media: dvbdev.h: do some kernel-doc cleanups

Some kernel-doc warnings in <media/dvbdev.h> were introduced. A fixup
patch addressed them was already merged, but Randy's approach from:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20221203060931.19953-1-rdunlap@infradead.org

Had some advantages, as it moves the @dvbdev to the right place inside
dvb_remove_device() documentation and it makes clearer about what
refcounter struct dvb_device refers to.

So, apply the changes suggested by Randy.

media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free due to race at dvb_register_device()

dvb_register_device() dynamically allocates fops with kmemdup()
to set the fops->owner.
And these fops are registered in 'file->f_ops' using replace_fops()
in the dvb_device_open() process, and kfree()d in dvb_free_device().

However, it is not common to use dynamically allocated fops instead
of 'static const' fops as an argument of replace_fops(),
and UAF may occur.
These UAFs can occur on any dvb type using dvb_register_device(),
such as dvb_dvr, dvb_demux, dvb_frontend, dvb_net, etc.

So, instead of kfree() the fops dynamically allocated in
dvb_register_device() in dvb_free_device() called during the
.disconnect() process, kfree() it collectively in exit_dvbdev()
called when the dvbdev.c module is removed.

media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF

dvb_unregister_device() is known that prone to use-after-free.
That is, the cleanup from dvb_unregister_device() releases the dvb_device
even if there are pointers stored in file->private_data still refer to it.

This patch adds a reference counter into struct dvb_device and delays its
deallocation until no pointer refers to the object.

# e704b44b 21-Jan-2022 Robert Schlabbach <robert_s@gmx.net>

media: dvb-core: Enhance shared multi-frontend support

Drivers for devices with multiple frontends which cannot be used
concurrently due to hardware limitations which enforce that restriction
by setting the mfe_shared field to 1 exhibit rather unfriendly behavior
towards applications: The unavailable frontend devices cannot be opened
at all, not even for read-only access to query information. Even worse,
any open call is blocked for 5 seconds by default.

Allow drivers for such devices to behave like regular busy frontend
devices instead, i.e. still allowing concurrent read access to the
unavailable frontend and denying concurrent write access with -EBUSY
without delay.

This patch does not alter the behavior of any existing driver to avoid
regressions. Driver developers who wish to take advantage of this must
ensure their driver can handle all read-only accesses to the unavailable
frontend, and indicate the capability by setting the mfe_shared field to
2 instead of 1.

Add a check to dvb-usb-init.c when automatically setting the mfe_shared
field that when a driver has already set the field to 2, it is not
overwritten.

Document the additional capability in the code comment about mfe_shared.

media: fix kernel-doc markups

Some identifiers have different names between their prototypes
and the kernel-doc markup. Seome seems to be due to cut-and-paste
related issues.

Others need to be fixed, as kernel-doc markups should use this format:

Instead, keep it next to the type name so it is clear that it is

media: dvbdev: add a mutex protecting the "mdev" pointer

During destruction, a race condition in
dvb_media_controller_disable_source() can cause a kernel crash,
because the "mdev" pointer has been read successfully while another
task executes dvb_usb_media_device_unregister(), which destroys the
object. Example for such a crash:

media: dvbdev: fix building on ia64

Not sure why, but, on ia64, with Linaro's gcc 7.3 compiler,
using #ifdef (CONFIG_I2C) is not OK.

So, replace it by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_I2C), in order to fix the
builds there.

media: dvb-core: add helper functions for I2C binding

The dvb_attach()/dvb_detach() methods are ugly hacks designed
to keep using the I2C low-level API. The proper way is to
do I2C bus bindings instead.

Several modules were already converted to use it. Yet,
it is painful to use it, as lots of code need to be
duplicated.

Make it easier by providing two new helper functions:
- dvb_module_probe()
- dvb_module_release()
