[ Upstream commit 8c64f4cdf4e6cc5682c52523713af8c39c94e6d5 ]
In dvb_register_device, *pdvbdev is set equal to dvbdev, which is freed
in several error-handling paths. However, *pdvbdev is not set to NULL
after dvbdev's deallocation, causing use-after-frees in many places,
for example, in the following call chain:
budget_register
|-> dvb_dmxdev_init
|-> dvb_register_device
|-> dvb_dmxdev_release
|-> dvb_unregister_device
|-> dvb_remove_device
|-> dvb_device_put
|-> kref_put
When calling dvb_unregister_device, dmxdev->dvbdev (i.e. *pdvbdev in
dvb_register_device) could point to memory that had been freed in
dvb_register_device. Thereafter, this pointer is transferred to
kref_put and triggering a use-after-free.
