Buffers can be returned back to videobuf2 in driver's streamon handler. In
this case vb2_buffer_done() with buffer state VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED will
cause the driver's buf_queue vb2 operation to be called, queueing the same
buffer again only to be returned to videobuf2 using vb2_buffer_done() and so
on.

Instead of using q->start_streamin_called to judge whether to return the
buffer to the driver immediately, use q->streaming which is set only after
the driver's start_streaming() vb2 operation is called.

I don't think this patch will work. If q->min_buffers_needed is > 0, then
q->streaming and q->start_streaming_called will both be true in vb2_buffer_done(),
still causing the same issue.

The problem is that there is no clear distinction between STATE_QUEUED as used
in start_streaming and STATE_QUEUED as used to requeue a buffer while streaming.

The best option here I think is to introduce a STATE_REQUEUE for the second use
case.
