Added:
+ * @lvcmdq_mutex: Lock to serialize user-allocated lvcmdq

for the following change:

Added mutex to pair with tegra241_vintf_alloc_lvcmdq_user():

mutex_lock(&vcmdq->vintf->lvcmdq_mutex);
...
mutex_unlock(&vcmdq->vintf->lvcmdq_mutex);

Revised a bit:
+	/*                                                                                                                                                                              
+	 * Initialize the user-owned VINTF without a LVCMDQ, as it cannot pre-                                                                                                          
+	 * allocate a LVCMDQ until user space wants one, for security reasons.
