sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c (gst_v4l2src_start, gst_v4l2src_stop): Add some useless comments.

Original commit message from CVS:
2007-06-05  Andy Wingo  <wingo@pobox.com>

* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c (gst_v4l2src_start, gst_v4l2src_stop): Add
some useless comments.

* sys/v4l2/v4l2src_calls.c (gst_v4l2src_capture_init): Don't queue
frames before calling STREAMON, that might leave them in a state
where they can't be dequeued if we go back to NULL without calling
STREAMON, according to the docs.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_start): Enqueue buffers here instead, right
before we call STREAMON.
(gst_v4l2src_capture_deinit): Remove crack to work around dequeue
failures. (For me this code hung.) The pool refcounting is still
crack; added a note to that effect.
