Vasiliy Kulikov ea07a9f255 staging: stradis: fix error handling and information leak to userland
configure_saa7146() didn't free irq on error.
saa_open() didn't decrease reference count of saa on error.
saa_ioctl() leaked information from the kernel stack to userland as it
didn't fill copied structs with zeros.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 96322b80e2 V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driver
The driver author seems to not worked on this driver since its conversion
from 2.2 to 2.4. Nobody is known to have a stradis hardware for testing. As
it still uses V4L1 API, BKL and probably some other old stuff, someone would
need to work on it to preserve the driver. Instead of investing time and
efforts to keep porting it to work with new API's, it seems better to just
drop the driver.

So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody
cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver
that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.
