Obvious test-drivers don't use DMA engine and just want to specify
the minimum number of buffers to allocate when calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS.
That 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field purpose so use it.
While at it rename function parameter.


So how ate the test-drivers currently abusing this field
and how does this change benefit?

I don't have objections to this change, I want to understand
it a bit more. I would like to see more details on why this
change is needed.
