So you get:

v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl(ctrl, val)
s_ctrl(ctrl, val)

Easy solution here, remove the first lock(mylock), since we are not using v4l2-dev's
locking, we are the one doing the first lock, and if we are going to call v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl
we should simply not do that!
Now I see that we are doing exactly that in for example vidioc_g_jpegcomp in gspca.c, so
we should stop doing that. We can make vidioc_g/s_jpegcomp only do the usb locking if
gspca_dev->vdev.ctrl_handler == NULL, and once all sub drivers are converted simply remove
it. Actually I'm thinking about making the jpegqual control part of the gspca_dev struct
itself and move all handling of vidioc_g/s_jpegcomp out of the sub drivers and into
the core.
