[PATCH] media: usbtv: prevent double free in error case

[Oliver Neukum]

Quoting the original report:

It looks like there is a double-free vulnerability in Linux usbtv driver on an error path of usbtv_probe function. When audio registration fails, usbtv_video_free function ends up freeing usbtv data structure, which gets freed the second time under usbtv_video_fail label.

usbtv_audio_fail:

        usbtv_video_free(usbtv); =>

           v4l2_device_put(&usbtv->v4l2_dev);

              => v4l2_device_put

                  => kref_put

                      => v4l2_device_release

  => usbtv_release (CALLBACK)

                             => kfree(usbtv) (1st time)

usbtv_video_fail:

        usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL);

        usb_put_dev(usbtv->udev);

        kfree(usbtv); (2nd time)

So, as we have refcounting, use it
