V4L/DVB: fix dvb frontend lockup

If my dvb device is removed while in use, I got the following oops:

If there are users (for example users == -2) :
 - dvb_unregister_frontend :
 - stop kernel thread with dvb_frontend_stop :
  - fepriv->exit = 1;
  - thread loop catch stop event and break while loop
  - fepriv->thread = NULL; and fepriv->exit = 0;
 - dvb_unregister_frontend wait on "fepriv->dvbdev->wait_queue" that fepriv->dvbdev->users==-1.
The user finish :
 - dvb_frontend_release - set users to -1
 - don't wait wait_queue because fepriv->exit != 1

=> dvb_unregister_frontend never exit the wait queue.
