Since commit 9ba9d11544f9 ("media: ivtv: Access v4l2_fh from file")
all ioctl handlers have been ported to operate on the file * first
function argument.
The ivtv DVB layer calls ivtv_init_on_first_open() when the driver
needs to start streaming. This function calls the s_input() and
s_frequency() ioctl handlers directly, but being called from the driver
context, it doesn't have a valid file * to pass them. This causes the
ioctl handlers to deference an invalid pointer.
Fix this by wrapping the ioctl handlers implementation in helper
functions which accepts a ivtv_open_id pointer as first argument
and make the ivtv_init_on_first_open() function call the helpers
without going through the ioctl handlers.
The bug has been reported by Smatch.

Same comments as for 1/2. Additionally, you can pass the ivtv_stream
pointer to this function, either along with the ivtv pointer, or alone
as you can access ivtv through s->itv.
