V4L/DVB: gspca - main: Don't use the frame buffer flags

This patch fixes possible race conditions in queue management with SMP:
when a frame was completed, the irq function tried to use the next frame
buffer. At this time, it was possible that the application on an other
processor updated the frame pointer, making the image to point to a bad
buffer.
The patch contains two main changes:
- the image transfer uses the queue indexes which are protected against
  simultaneous memory access,
- the image pointer which is used for image concatenation is only set at
  interrupt level.
Some subdrivers which used the image pointer have been updated.
