One code path is (mmap_sem taken before, video_device lock taken
afterwards) :

 -> sys_mmap_pgoff()
    grabs current->mm->mmap_sem at
    http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/mm/mmap.c#L1111

    -> do_mmap_pgoff()

       -> mmap_region()

          -> v4l2_mmap()
             grabs struct video_device->lock at 
             http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/video/v4l2-dev.c#L396

The other code path is (video_device taken first, mmap_sem taken
afterwards) :

 -> v4l2_ioctl()
    grabs video_device->lock at
    http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/video/v4l2-dev.c#L327

    -> video_ioctl2()

       -> video_usercopy()

          -> __video_do_ioctl()

             -> videobuf_qbuf()
                grabs current->mm->mmap_sem at
                http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.c#L537
