Currently only very few drivers actually use video_device nodes, embedded
in struct v4l2_subdev. Allocate these nodes dynamically for those drivers
to save memory for the rest.

v4:

1. added "static" in v4l2_device_release_subdev_node() definition
2. removed superfluous get_device() and put_device() (thanks to Laurent 
for pointing out)
