    [media] bttv: fix mutex use before init (BZ#24602)
    
    Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it
    were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to
    fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of
    lock code at free_btres_lock().
    
    It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted
    locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all
    ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two
    processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just
    one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks.
    
    The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.

    [media] bttv: remove unneeded locking comments
    
    After Mauro's "bttv: Fix locking issues due to BKL removal code" there
    are a number of comments that are no longer needed about lock ordering.
    Remove them.

Initial attempt at possible resolution to the ene_ir probe failure. It was possible
for the io region and irq valid checks to fail, sending us to the error handling
paths before calling request_region and request_irq, but with hw_io and irq set to
zero, which are valid possibilities, and thus we'd call free_irq and/or release_region
when we shouldn't, thus things go kaboom... Upstream author may sort this out in a
slightly different manner, but it'll prevent the same problem.
