I don't think this lock is actually needed. The bit operations are already
atomic, so we can do without this lock.

These functions are used quite rarely. I'd remove these inlines and just
call get/put_device directly.

These two if's should be swapper (just like in media_read and write).

When media_devnode_lock is removed we can't use find_next_zero_bit anymore.
Instead, we have to loop over all bits and call test_and_set_bit() to ensure
atomicity.

Don't zero mdev->dev. We should assume that mdev has been zeroed by the caller.
This construct is actually a bug in v4l2-dev.c. I've seen patches that fixed it,
but I don't know the status of those patches. The problem is that
dev_set_drvdata
these days allocates memory. So if dev_set_drvdata was called before this
function, then this construct will leak a bit of memory.
I would just remove this and require that mdev was initialized correctly
when it was allocated.

Wouldn't mediactlX be a better name? Just plain 'media' is awfully general.
