[media] soc-camera: properly fix camera probing races
The recently introduced host_lock causes lockdep warnings, besides, list enumeration in scan_add_host() must be protected by holdint the list_lock. OTOH, holding .video_lock in soc_camera_open() isn't enough to protect the host during its building of the pipeline, because .video_lock is per soc-camera device. If, e.g. more than one sensor can be attached to a host and the user tries to open both device nodes simultaneously, host's .add() method can be called simultaneously for both sensors. Fix these problems by holding list_lock instead of .host_lock in scan_add_host() and taking it shortly at the beginning of soc_camera_open(), and using .host_lock to protect host's .add() and .remove() operations only.
