The wait_event() call in dvb_unregister_frontend() waits synchronously
for other tasks to free a file descriptor, but it does that while
holding several mutexes. That alone is a bad idea, but if one user
process happens to keep a (defunct) file descriptor open indefinitely,
the kernel will correctly detect a hung task:
INFO: task kworker/0:1:314 blocked for more than 30 seconds.
Not tainted 4.7.0-rc1-hosting+ #50
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

This patch removes the blocking wait, and postpones the kfree() call
until all file handles have been closed by using struct kref.
