media: dvb-usb: fix memory leak in dvb_usb_adapter_init()
[ Upstream commit 94d90fb06b94a90c176270d38861bcba34ce377d ]
Syzbot reports a memory leak in "dvb_usb_adapter_init()".
The leak is due to not accounting for and freeing current iteration's
adapter->priv in case of an error. Currently if an error occurs,
it will exit before incrementing "num_adapters_initalized",
which is used as a reference counter to free all adap->priv
in "dvb_usb_adapter_exit()". There are multiple error paths that
can exit from before incrementing the counter. Including the
error handling paths for "dvb_usb_adapter_stream_init()",
"dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init()" and "dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_init()"
within "dvb_usb_adapter_init()".
This means that in case of an error in any of these functions the
current iteration is not accounted for and the current iteration's
adap->priv is not freed.
Fix this by freeing the current iteration's adap->priv in the
"stream_init_err:" label in the error path. The rest of the
(accounted for) adap->priv objects are freed in dvb_usb_adapter_exit()
as expected using the num_adapters_initalized variable.
