From: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c08eadca1bdfa099e20a32f8fa4b52b2f672236d ] The commit 47677e51e2a4("[media] em28xx: Only deallocate struct em28xx after finishing all extensions") adds kref_get to many init functions (e.g., em28xx_audio_init). However, kref_init is called too late in em28xx_usb_probe, since em28xx_init_dev before will invoke those init functions and call kref_get function. Then refcount bug occurs in my local syzkaller instance. Fix it by moving kref_init before em28xx_init_dev. This issue occurs not only in dev but also dev->dev_next.
