According to the documentation struct v4l2_fh has to be cleaned up with
v4l2_fh_exit() before being freed. [1]
Currently there is no actual bug here, when v4l2_fh_exit() isn't called.
v4l2_fh_exit() in this case only destroys internal mutex. But it may
change in the future, when v4l2_fh_init/v4l2_fh_exit will be enhanced.
