media: xc2028: avoid use-after-free in load_firmware_cb()
[ Upstream commit 68594cec291ff9523b9feb3f43fd853dcddd1f60 ]
syzkaller reported use-after-free in load_firmware_cb() [1].
The reason is because the module allocated a struct tuner in tuner_probe(),
and then the module initialization failed, the struct tuner was released.
A worker which created during module initialization accesses this struct
tuner later, it caused use-after-free.
The process is as follows:
task-6504 worker_thread
tuner_probe <= alloc dvb_frontend [2]
...
request_firmware_nowait <= create a worker
...
tuner_remove <= free dvb_frontend
...
request_firmware_work_func <= the firmware is ready
load_firmware_cb <= but now the dvb_frontend has been freed
To fix the issue, check the dvd_frontend in load_firmware_cb(), if it is
null, report a warning and just return.

Actually, it is allocated for struct tuner, and dvb_frontend is inside.
