v4l2-mem2mem presently does not allow VIDIOC_REQBUFS to destroy
outstanding buffers if the queue is of type V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP, and if the
buffers are considered "in use".  This is different behavior than for
other memory types, and prevents us for deallocating buffers in a few
cases:

* In the case that there are outstanding mmap()ed views on the buffer,
  refcounting on the videobuf2 buffer backing the vm_area will track
  lifetime appropriately,
* In the case that the buffer has been exported as a DMABUF, refcounting
  on the videobuf2 bufer backing the DMABUF will track lifetime
  appropriately.

Remove the specific check for type V4L2_MEMOMRY_MMAP when freeing all
buffers through VIDIOC_REQBUFS.
