Fix checkpatch.pl checks:
CHECK: spinlock_t definition without comment
CHECK: struct mutex definition without comment
Add a comment to each lock in struct most_video_dev describing what it
protects. No functional change.

What I want here is an audit of the locking. I imagine that the result
of the audit will be more than a two word summary.
