The field 'dev' is not the video device, but the parent of the video device.
Rename accordingly.

The uvcvideo driver's uvc_v4l2_open() method is called from videodev's
video_open() function, which means it is called with the videodev_lock
mutex held. uvc_v4l2_open() then takes uvc_driver.open_mutex to check
dev->state and avoid racing against a device disconnect, which means
that open_mutex must nest inside videodev_lock.
However uvc_disconnect() takes the open_mutex around setting
dev->state and also around putting its device reference. However, if
uvc_disconnect() ends up dropping the last reference, it will call
uvc_delete(), which calls into the videodev code to unregister its
device, and this will end up taking videodev_lock. This opens a
(unlikely in practice) window for an AB-BA deadlock and also causes a
lockdep warning because of the lock misordering.
Fortunately there is no apparent reason to hold open_mutex when doing
kref_put() in uvc_disconnect(): if uvc_v4l2_open() runs before the
state is set to UVC_DEV_DISCONNECTED, then it will take another
reference to the device and kref_put() won't call uvc_delete; if
uvc_v4l2_open() runs after the state is set, it will run before
uvc_delete(), see the state, and return immediately -- uvc_delete()
does uvc_unregister_video() (and hence video_unregister_device(),
which is synchronized with videodev_lock) as its first thing, so there
is no risk of use-after-free in uvc_v4l2_open().
Bug diagnosed based on a lockdep warning reported by Romano Giannetti

This driver supports video input devices compliant with the USB Video Class
specification. This means lots of currently manufactured webcams, and probably
most of the future ones.
