In isp_video_release, file->private_data is freed via

file->private_data is still used in v4l2_fh_is_singular_file()
->v4l2_fh_is_singular(file->private_data), which is a use
after free bug.

My patch set file->private_data to NULL after _vb2_fop_release()
to avoid the use after free.

Thank you for the patch. To ensure the pipeline stop call is done
only when the last file handle is released we would need something
as below.
