[PATCH v3 3/6] video: Introduce video_sync operation

Some drivers like LCD connected via SPI requires explicit sync function
which copy framebuffer content over SPI to controller to display.
This hook doesn't exist yet that's why introduce it via video operations.

(no changes since v2)

Changes in v2:
- Add support for returning value
- Update kernel-doc format to pass kernel-doc script
- Update patch subject s/call/operation/

Simon: Please review this. I didn't find existing way how this can be done
that's why I am introducing this hook. Also maybe name can be named a
little bit differently. That's why waiting for better suggestion.
