My local syzbot instance hit a memory leak in
cinergyt2_frontend_attach() [1].
The problem was in non-freed dvb_frontend in case of error.
If dvb_usb_generic_rw() call fails, an error will be returned from
cinergyt2_frontend_attach() [1] and num_adapters_initialized of
dvb_usb_device won't be incremented. That means dvb usb library
won't take care of freeing allocated frontend.
Fail log:
