I got a use-after-free report: dvbdev: dvb_register_device: failed to create device dvb1.dvr0 (-12) ... ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dvb_dmxdev_release+0xce/0x2f0 ...

When dvb_register_device() in dvb_dmxdev_init() fails, dvb_dmxdev_init() does not return a failure, and the memory pointed to by dvbdev or dvr_dvbdev is invalid at this point. If they are used subsequently, it will result in UFA or null-ptr-deref. If dvb_register_device() in dvb_dmxdev_init() fails, fix the bug by making dvb_dmxdev_init() return an error as well.
