dvb-core: fix several locking related problems

Fix several instances of dvb-core functions using mutex_lock_interruptible
and returning -ERESTARTSYS where the calling function will either never
retry or never check the return value.

These cause a race condition with dvb_dmxdev_filter_free and
dvb_dvr_release, both of which are filesystem release functions whose
return value is ignored and will never be retried.  When this happens it
becomes impossible to open dvr0 again (-EBUSY) since it has not been
released properly.

(cherry picked from commit c278850206fd9df0bb62a72ca0b277fe20c5a452)
