Vasiliy Kulikov c888d4e7b2 staging: cpia: fix camera file owner in cpia_open()
Use effective UID instead of real UID for camera owner.
There is no need to check for pending signals just before successfull
return.  Exit in case of pending signal also leaved camera in open state.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 7af97effb3 V4L/DVB: Deprecate cpia driver (used for parallel port webcams)
cpia driver were re-written inside gspca driver, for USB devices. The only
functionality that were not migrated is the support for parallel port,
as:
	1) the developer didn't find any hardware;
	2) it doesn't  seem important to keep support for a parallel port webcam,
	   as this is an obsolete technology;
	3) the changes at gspca for it to work with parallel port would be very large;
	4) this driver still uses BKL.

So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody
cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver
that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.
