Subject: [PATCH] [media] dvb-core: Fix frontend thread serialization

dvb_frontend_thread's life cycle is controlled by dvb_frontend_start
and dvb_frontend_release.
But, if user opens frontend device before the thread exits completely,
dvb_frontend_start doesn't create a new thread.

When exit condition of thread that is jiffies is triggered
by dvb_frontend_release, dvb_frontend_thread wakes up and checks
exit condition without semaphore acquiring.
In this case, if user context checks existence of thread(fepriv->thread),
it is true, and exit flage has DVB_FE_NO_EXIT.
Therefore, dvb_frontend_start doesn't make a new thread,
previous old thread is going to terminate.

To fix this problem, semaphore should preserve thread exit condition and
checking it, which are dvb_frontend_is_exiting and fe->exit.
