libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Handle unexpected buffers
A kernel bug can lead to unexpected buffers being dequeued where we
haven't entered the buffer in our queuedBuffers_ list.
This causes invalid accesses if not handled correctly within libcamera,
and while it is a kernel issue, we can protect against unpatched
kernels to provide a more suitable error message.
This is fixed in the kernel by commit c592b46907ad ("media:
videobuf2-core: dequeue if start_streaming fails") [0]
[0] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c592b46907ad
Handle unexpected buffers by returning a nullptr, and move cache
management after the validation of the buffer.
