V4L/DVB (6291): Fix: avoid oops on some SMP machines
This workaround fix a bug that happens on some SMP machines. On those machines, videobuf_iolock is called too soon, before file .mmap handler. This patch calls the scheduler before iolocking, allowing it to properly call the pending mmap. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
