[media] V4L: fix incorrect refcounting

Browse Source 
Both radio-keene and dsbr100 did one v4l2_device_get too many. Thus the refcount
never became 0 and that causes a memory leak.

Also updated the V4L2 framework documentation accordingly.

If you have multiple device nodes then it can be difficult to know when it is
safe to unregister v4l2_device. For this purpose v4l2_device has refcounting
support. The refcount is increased whenever video_register_device is called and
it is decreased whenever that device node is released. When the refcount reaches
zero, then the v4l2_device release() callback is called. You can do your final
cleanup there.

Since the initial refcount is 1 you also need to call v4l2_device_put in the
disconnect() callback (for USB devices) or in the remove() callback (for e.g.
PCI devices), otherwise the refcount will never reach 0.
