[pvrusb2] "failed to grab control of dtv input (code=-1)"

(Back to what I was trying to reproduce).  I think
there may be a race in the pvrusb2 driver during
initialization which can result in the dvb side of
a hybrid device not completing initialization.

Environment: Fedora 16, 64 bit, 3.1.7 kernel, HVR-1950
How reproducable: 100% (well, 3 out of 3 test cases).
Importance: Medium (it seems to randomly occur)
Result: "failed to grab control of dtv input...."

Scenerio:

While running a perl program doing a
  while(1) { sysopen(F,"/dev/video0",O_RDWR); close(F);}
(the v4l device will be instantiated as /dev/video0),
plug in HVR-1950, and receive the following messages:

To recover and start again, kill the perl program first,
unplug the device, and then start again.
