V4L/DVB (7712): pvrusb2: Close connect/disconnect race
If a disconnect happens before initialization is completed, the
pvrusb2 driver can accidentally touch dangling pointers. The whole
initialization function must be protected by the big_lock, and once
inside that lock, the initialization function should abort if it is
discovered that a disconnect has already taken place.
