Subject: [PATCH] spa: v4l2: use a separate watch for each device

Instead of watching /dev, use a separate watch for each device.
This is supposed to achieve the same result as the now reverted
88f0dbd6fcd0a412fc4bece22afdc3ba0151e4cf ("v4l2: don't set inotify on /dev"):

  Doing inotify on /dev is not a good idea because we will be woken up by
  a lot of unrelated events.

  There is a report of a performance regression on some IO benchmark
  because of lock contention within the fsnotify subsystem due to this.

  Instead, just watch for attribute changes on the /dev/videoX files
  directly. We are only interested in attribute changes, udev should
  notify us when the file is added or removed.

Fixes #3439
