media: uvcvideo: Make power management granular

Browse source

Now that every ioctl takes care of their power management we can remove
the "global" power management.

Despite its size, this is a relatively big change. We hope that there
are no size effects of it. If there are some specific devices that
miss-behave, we can add a small quirk for them.

This patch introduces a behavioral change for the uvc "trigger" button.
Before the "trigger" button would work as long as userspace has opened
/dev/videoX. Now it only works when the camera is actually streaming. We
consider that this the most common (if not the only) usecase and
therefore we do not think of this as a regression.
