media: vb2: add V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF
This patch adds support for the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF flag. It also adds a new V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF capability. Drivers should set vb2_queue->subsystem_flags to VB2_V4L2_FL_SUPPORTS_M2M_HOLD_CAPTURE_BUF to indicate support for this flag.
