Take device (an instance of 'struct em28xx') lock in 'em28xx_free_v4l2()'
and do the same early in 'em28xx_v4l2_fini()' to avoid UaF-triggering
racy access to 'v4l2' member.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=dd0f06181ab66b93dc00
Fixes: 288254383674 ("media: em28xx: use v4l2_device release callback")
