[ Upstream commit 47773031a148ad7973b809cc7723cba77eda2b42 ]

The current implementation unconditionally calls
mxc_isi_video_cleanup_streaming() in mxc_isi_video_release(). This can
lead to situations where any release call (like from a simple
"v4l2-ctl -l") may release a currently streaming queue when called on
such a device.

This is reproducible on an i.MX8MP board by streaming from an ISI
capture device using gstreamer:

	gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/videoX ! \
	    video/x-raw,format=GRAY8,width=1280,height=800,framerate=1/120 ! \
	    fakesink

While this stream is running, querying the caps of the same device
provokes the error state:

	v4l2-ctl -l -d /dev/videoX

This results in the following trace:

Address this issue by moving the streaming preparation and cleanup to
the vb2 .prepare_streaming() and .unprepare_streaming() operations. This
also simplifies the driver by allowing direct usage of the
vb2_ioctl_streamon() and vb2_ioctl_streamoff() helpers, and removal of
the manual cleanup from mxc_isi_video_release().
