media: dvd_usb: memory leak in cinergyt2_fe_attach
[ Upstream commit 9ad1efee086e0e913914fa2b2173efb830bad68c ]
When the driver fails to talk with the hardware with dvb_usb_generic_rw,
it will return an error to dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_init. However, the
driver forgets to free the resource (e.g., struct cinergyt2_fe_state),
which leads to a memory leak.
Fix this by freeing struct cinergyt2_fe_state when dvb_usb_generic_rw
fails in cinergyt2_frontend_attach.
