media: usbvision: deprecate driver

Browse source 
The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end
of 2020. The reason is that this driver is for old and obsolete
hardware, and it produces a continuous stream of syzbot errors due
to poor code.

In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to
be taken:

- clean up the code
- convert to the vb2 framework
- fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add
  a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code
  to use that correctly).
