Both the old and new code doesn't make a lot of sense.

buf_queue is only called by vb2 if start_streaming has already been called or is
about to be called.

Typically all that the buf_queue op does is to call list_add_tail(&buf->list, &isc->dma_queue);
inside the spinlock.

This is weird as well. Normally this calls vb2_is_busy to check if the
queue is busy (that really means that buffers are already allocated, so
changing the format isn't allowed anymore).

Ditto.

I'm really not sure that you need the stop bool at all.
