[PATCH v3 2/2] libcamera: software_isp: Clean up pending requests on stop

PipelineHandler::stop() calls stopDevice() method to perform pipeline
specific cleanup and then completes waiting requests.  If any queued
requests remain, an assertion error is raised.

Software ISP stores request buffers in
SimpleCameraData::conversionQueue_ and queues them as V4L2 signals
bufferReady.  stopDevice() cleanup forgets to clean up the buffers and
their requests from conversionQueue_, possibly resulting in the
assertion error.  This patch fixes the omission.

The problem wasn't very visible when
SimplePipelineHandler::kNumInternalBuffers (the number of buffers
allocated in V4L2) was equal to the number of buffers exported from
software ISP.  But when the number of the exported buffers was increased
by one in commit abe2ec64f9e4e97bbdfe3a50372611bd7b5315c2, the assertion
error started pop up in some environments.  Increasing the number of the
buffers much more, e.g. to 9, makes the problem very reproducible.

Each pipeline uses its own mechanism to track the requests to clean up
and it can't be excluded that similar omissions are present in other
places.  But there is no obvious way to make a common cleanup for all
the pipelines (except for doing it instead of raising the assertion
error, which is probably undesirable, in order not to hide incomplete
pipeline specific cleanups).
