[v21,0/9] Add REMOVE_BUF ioctl

Message

Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce REMOVE_BUFS ioctl.

VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 24 of the 24 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

Kernel branch is available here:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/benjamin.gaignard/for-upstream/-/commits/remove_vb2_queue_limit_v21

GStreamer branch to use DELETE_BUF ioctl and testing dynamic resolution
change is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/benjamin.gaignard1/gstreamer/-/commits/VP9_drc

changes in version 21:
- Be more careful about checking remove_bufs type field vs queue type.
- Add documentation about type checking error.
- Always set capabilities flags field.
- Do not set vidioc_remove_bufs for vim2m driver.

changes in version 20:
- Rename DELETE_BUFS into REMOVE_BUFS
- Change documention, structure and variables name to use 'remove'

changes in version 19:
- Fix typo in commit message.
- Fix ioctl domentation
- Rework q->is_busy patch following Hans's comments
- Change where DELETE_BUFS is enabled
