Input: sur40 - fix DMA handling in video capture

This commit fixes video capture failures by transitioning from vb2_dma_sg to
vb2_vmalloc. It receives each frame into a driver-owned, page-backed
scatterlist and copies it through the vb2 mapping, while synchronizing
CPU writes to imported dma-bufs.

[Severity: Medium]
Is it correct to pass 0 as the mem_flags argument to usb_sg_init() here?

Passing 0 implies no reclaim and no wait (equivalent to GFP_NOWAIT), which
restricts usb_alloc_urb() and internal kmalloc operations. This can increase
the probability of spurious -ENOMEM failures under memory pressure.

Since sur40_process_video() executes inside the input poller worker thread
(sur40_poll) which runs in process context and is allowed to sleep (it already
calls usb_bulk_msg() and usb_sg_wait()), shouldn't this use GFP_KERNEL instead?

[Severity: High]
Could freeing the sur40 structure unconditionally here lead to a use-after-free
if userspace holds the V4L2 file descriptor open during device unplug?

When the application later closes the file, the V4L2 core invokes
vb2_fop_release(), which dereferences vdev->queue and attempts to acquire
vdev->queue->lock. Because vdev is embedded in the freed sur40 structure,
this results in a direct use-after-free.

While the commit message acknowledges this bug and defers to a pending patch
series for the disconnect fixes, the current patch adds new cleanup to this
vulnerable path. The referenced series is absent from the provided tree,
leaving the vulnerability exposed.
