Two parameters were documented with a wrong name, and a struct
device pointer description was missing.
That caused the following warnings, when building documentation:
include/media/media-devnode.h:102: warning: No description found for parameter 'media_dev'
include/media/media-devnode.h:126: warning: No description found for parameter 'mdev'
include/media/media-devnode.h:126: warning: Excess function parameter 'media_dev' description in 'media_devnode_register'
Rename the description, to match the function parameter and fix

Media devnode open/ioctl could be in progress when media device unregister
is initiated. System calls and ioctls check media device registered status
at the beginning, however, there is a window where unregister could be in
progress without changing the media devnode status to unregistered.

Fix it by clearing register bit when unregister starts to avoid the race.

struct media_devnode is currently embedded at struct media_device.
While this works fine during normal usage, it leads to a race
condition during devnode unregister. the problem is that drivers
assume that, after calling media_device_unregister(), the struct
that contains media_device can be freed. This is not true, as it
can't be freed until userspace closes all opened /dev/media devnodes.
In other words, if the media devnode is still open, and media_device
gets freed, any call to an ioctl will make the core to try to access
struct media_device, with will cause an use-after-free and even GPF.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the struct media_devnode and only
freeing it when it is safe.

Along all media controller code, "mdev" is used to represent
a pointer to struct media_device, and "devnode" for a pointer
to struct media_devnode.
However, inside media-devnode.[ch], "mdev" is used to represent
a pointer to struct media_devnode.
This is very confusing and may lead to development errors.
So, let's change all occurrences at media-devnode.[ch] to
also use "devnode" for such pointers.
This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

There is one struct and two functions that were not documented.
Add the corresponding kernel-doc documentation for them.

As we're using the headers file only for documentation, move the
two kernel-doc macros to the header, and fix it to avoid
warnings.

mdev->fops->owner is actually the owner of the very same module which
implements media_device_register(), so it can't be unloaded anyway. Instead,
use THIS_MODULE through a macro as does video_register_device().

The media_devnode structure provides support for registering and
unregistering character devices using a dynamic major number. Reference
counting is handled internally, making device drivers easier to write
without having to solve the open/disconnect race condition issue over
and over again.
The code is based on video/v4l2-dev.c.
