VIDEO: Correct use of request_region/request_mem_region

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

request_region should be used with release_region, not request_mem_region.

Geert Uytterhoeven pointed out that in the case of drivers/video/gbefb.c,
the problem is actually the other way around; request_mem_region should be
used instead of request_region.

The semantic patch that finds/fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@r1@
expression start;
@@

request_region(start,...)

@b1@
expression r1.start;
@@

request_mem_region(start,...)

@depends on !b1@
expression r1.start;
expression E;
@@

- release_mem_region
+ release_region
  (start,E)
