Not a bug, see below.

video_unregister_device() is called in the disconnect function, so calling it again
here is wrong (it detects that the video device is already unregistered, so this
effectively is a NOP).

I have tested this patch with an actual zr364xx device without this line and it works
fine. So you can add my:

Tested-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>

for a v2 without this spurious video_unregister_device().

The v4l2_dev.release() callback is called when all video devices are unregistered
and when all open filehandles to those video devices are closed, i.e. it is called
when the very last user is gone.
