Hmm, the (un)subscribe ioctls are serialized through the ioctl lock,
so this could only be a scenario with drivers that do not use this
lock. Off-hand the only driver I know that does this is uvc. Unfortunately,
that's a rather popular one.

I'd say 'no need for this' if it wasn't for uvc.

I don't like the name 'mutex'. Perhaps something more descriptive like:
'subscribe_lock'?

Overall I think this patch makes sense. The code is cleaner and easier to
follow.
Just give 'mutex' a better name :-)
