Fix several instances of dvb-core functions using mutex_lock_interruptible and
returning -ERESTARTSYS where the calling function will either never retry or
never check the return value.
These cause a race condition with dvb_dmxdev_filter_free and dvb_dvr_release,
both of which are filesystem release functions whose return value is ignored
and will never be retried. When this happens it becomes impossible to open dvr0
again (-EBUSY) since it has not been released properly.

Unless there are other -mm trees I've not heard about, presumably I should just
do this myself. Doesn't linux-dvb have it's own development tree this would
get better tested in?
The dvb_dvr_release change has been working for me for 6 months and the
dvb_dmxdev_filter_free (dvb_dmxdev_filter_free) change looks equivalent.
See http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-February/016120.html for
an example of the bug before and after fixing.
All the other changes run ok for me but should have lockdep enabled when
testing (if there's a possible deadlock somewhere, using _interruptible will
hide it).
