    V4L/DVB (4028): Change dvb_frontend_ops to be a real field instead of a pointer field inside dvb_frontend
    
    The dvb_frontend_ops is a pointer inside dvb_frontend. That's why every demod-driver
    is having a field of dvb_frontend_ops in its private-state-struct and
    using the reference for filling the pointer-field in dvb_frontend.
    - It saves at least two lines of code per demod-driver,
    - reduces object size (one less dereference per frontend_ops-access),
    - be coherent with dvb_tuner_ops,
    - makes it a little bit easier for newbies to understand how it works and
    - avoids stupid mistakes because you would have to copy the dvb_frontend_ops
      always, before you could assign the static pointer directly, which was
      dangerous.
