[media] dvb_frontend: eliminate blocking wait in dvb_unregister_front…

…end()

The wait_event() call in dvb_unregister_frontend() waits synchronously
for other tasks to free a file descriptor, but it does that while
holding several mutexes.  That alone is a bad idea, but if one user
process happens to keep a (defunct) file descriptor open indefinitely,
the kernel will correctly detect a hung task:

    INFO: task kworker/0:1:314 blocked for more than 30 seconds.
          Not tainted 4.7.0-rc1-hosting+ torvalds#50

This patch removes the blocking wait, and postpones the kfree() call
until all file handles have been closed by using struct kref.
