[media] ir-lirc-codec: let lirc_dev handle the lirc_buffer
ir_lirc_register() currently creates its own lirc_buffer before
passing the lirc_driver to lirc_register_driver().
When a module is later unloaded, ir_lirc_unregister() gets called
which performs a call to lirc_unregister_driver() and then free():s
the lirc_buffer.
The problem is that:
a) there can still be a userspace app holding an open lirc fd
when lirc_unregister_driver() returns; and
b) the lirc_buffer contains "wait_queue_head_t wait_poll" which
is potentially used as long as any userspace app is still around.
The result is an oops which can be triggered quite easily by a
userspace app monitoring its lirc fd using epoll() and not closing
the fd promptly on device removal.
The minimalistic fix is to let lirc_dev create the lirc_buffer since
lirc_dev will then also free the buffer once it believes it is safe to
do so.
