[media] v4l2-async: Don't use dynamic static allocation
Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and compilation complains about it on some archs: drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-async.c:238:1: warning: 'v4l2_async_notifier_unregister' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default] Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer. In this specific case, there's a hard limit imposed by V4L2_MAX_SUBDEVS, with is currently 128. That means that the buffer size can be up to 128x8 = 1024 bytes (on a 64bits kernel), with is too big for stack. Worse than that, someone could increase it and cause real troubles. So, let's use dynamically allocated data, instead.
