Add a new camera open API that allows taking the ownership.
The purpose is to let face unlock always get the camera
successfully. What happened was the camera applications may
have opened the camera in onResume under the lock screen.
This API lets face unlock take the camera from the camera
application. A new permission will be added, so other
applicatoins won't be able to take the camera from the face
unlock.
