[media] media-devnode: Alloc cdev dynamically

Currently, cdev is embedded inside media_devnode. This causes
a problem with the fs core, as __fput() will try to release
its access by calling cdev_put():

There are two alternatives to solve it: we could either use a static
var for cdev or to dynamically allocate it. Let's choose the last one,
as this is the same solution at v4l2 core, from where this code seems
to have originated.

For reference only: when I posted my CEC framework code it was based on what
v4l2-dev.c did, and I got yelled at by Russell King. I took his advice and
the new approach seems to work well without having to allocate cdev.

The code is here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/100380/focus=100378

Search for cec_devnode_register.

Russell's mail is here:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg88417.html

However, the struct cec_adapter itself does have to be allocated, otherwise you
will get nasty lifetime issues. This seems to be a common theme: allocate the
main struct (cec_adapter, video_device, rc_device), then register the character
device as a separate step. On advantage of this is that a driver can allocate
everything first and do the registration of the devices as the last step when
it knows everything is consistent and initialized properly.

We've been embedding video_device/media_device in top-level structs and that looks
like it was a bad idea.

Digging into this mess is time consuming, but I thought I should at least share
this advice from Russell as an example.

That's about exactly the same code that is not working with the
media controller: it is getting errors when __fput() tries to free
the memory on this code snippet (from fs/file_table.c):

	if (unlikely(S_ISCHR(inode->i_mode) && inode->i_cdev != NULL &&
		     !(file->f_mode & FMODE_PATH))) {
		cdev_put(inode->i_cdev);
	}

As the media controller is a chardev and inode->i_cdev is not NULL,
this will call cdev_put(), with will cause an error at __fput().

This patch fixes it by using dynamic cdev allocation.

Well, at the media controller, the equivalent for it would be 
struct media_devnode. 

The patch:
    [PATCH 4/4] [media] media-device: dynamically allocate struct media_devnode

makes struct media_devnode to be allocated. 

It is indeed needed, no matter how cdev is allocated, as this seem to be
the only way to fix lifetime issues there.
