Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset
the file->private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release()
file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_del() function to
avoid direct access to file->private_data in drivers. This requires
adding a file pointer argument to the function.

Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle
semantic patch:

expression fh;
identifier filp;
identifier release;

Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage
patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the
v4l2_fh_del() prototype and reset file->private_data, and to
include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_del() function prototype
and its documentation.

Additionally, white space issues have been fixed manually in
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c

Instead of adding a second argument, perhaps it is better to
just provide the filp pointer. After all, you can get the v4l2_fh
from filp->private_data.

It simplifies the code a bit.
That's an interesting idea. I'll give it a try.
