Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb-core: Fix ignored return value in dvb_register_frontend()
Git-commit: a574359e2e71ce16be212df3a082ed60a4bd2c5f
Patch-mainline: v6.2-rc1
References: git-fixes

In dvb_register_frontend(), dvb_register_device() is possible to fail
but its return value is ignored.

It will cause use-after-free when module is removed, because in
dvb_unregister_frontend() it tries to unregister a not registered
device.

Bug: KASAN: use-after-free in dvb_remove_device+0x18b/0x1f0 [dvb_core]

 dvb_unregister_frontend+0x7b/0x130 [dvb_core]
 vidtv_bridge_remove+0x6e/0x160 [dvb_vidtv_bridge]
 ...

Fix this by catching return value of dvb_register_device().
However the fe->refcount can't be put to zero immediately, because
there are still modules calling dvb_frontend_detach() when
dvb_register_frontend() fails.
