extending BKL in v4l open

extending BKL in v4l open

[Oliver Neukum]

Hi,

I'd like to propose an extension of code under the BKL in v4l's open method 
to include the actual open of the low level v4l driver. Otherwise there's a 
race with usb v4l drivers which deregister themselves as v4l devices upon 
being disconnected on usb, as the pointer passed may point to freed memory.

	Regards
		Oliver
