media: v4l2-core: hold videodev_lock until dev reg, finishes

Browse source 
After the new V4L2 device node was registered, some additional
initialization was done before the device node was marked as
'registered'. During the time between creating the device node
and marking it as 'registered' it was possible to open the
device node, which would return -ENODEV since the 'registered'
flag was not yet set.

Hold the videodev_lock mutex from just before the device node
is registered until the 'registered' flag is set. Since v4l2_open
will take the same lock, it will wait until this registration
process is finished. This resolves this race condition.
