[media] Mantis: append tasklet maintenance for DVB stream delivery

After dvb-core has called mantis-fe->stop_feed(dvbdmxfeed)
the last time (count to zero), no data should ever be copied
with dvb_dmx_swfilter() by a tasklet: the target structure
might be in an unusable state. Caller of mantis_fe->stop_feed()
assumes that feeding is stopped after stop_feed() has been
called, ie. dvb_dmx_swfilter() isn't running, and won't be called.

There is a risk that dvb_dmx_swfilter() references freed resources
(memory or spinlocks or ???) causing instabilities. Thus
tasklet_disable(&mantis->tasklet) must be called inside of
mantis-fe->stop_feed(dvbdmxfeed) when necessary.
