[media] vb2: fix 'UNBALANCED' warnings when calling vb2_thread_stop()

Stopping the vb2 thread (as used by several DVB devices) can result
in an 'UNBALANCED' warning such as this:

vb2: counters for queue ffff880407ee9828: UNBALANCED!
vb2:     setup: 1 start_streaming: 1 stop_streaming: 1
vb2:     wait_prepare: 249333 wait_finish: 249334

This is due to a race condition between stopping the thread and
calling vb2_internal_streamoff(). While I have not been able to deduce
the exact mechanism how this race condition can produce this warning,
I can see that the way the stream is stopped is likely to lead to a
race somewhere.

This patch simplifies how this is done by first ensuring that the
thread is completely stopped before cleaning up the vb2 queue. It
does that by setting threadio->stop to true, followed by a call to
vb2_queue_error() which will wake up the thread. The thread sees that
'stop' is true and it will exit.

The call to kthread_stop() waits until the thread has exited, and only
then is the queue cleaned up by calling __vb2_cleanup_fileio().

This is a much cleaner sequence and the warning has now disappeared.
