Hyunwoo Kim 4a8ecfb220 media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free due to race at dvb_register_device()
[ Upstream commit 627bb528b086b4136315c25d6a447a98ea9448d3 ]

dvb_register_device() dynamically allocates fops with kmemdup()
to set the fops->owner.
And these fops are registered in 'file->f_ops' using replace_fops()
in the dvb_device_open() process, and kfree()d in dvb_free_device().

However, it is not common to use dynamically allocated fops instead
of 'static const' fops as an argument of replace_fops(),
and UAF may occur.
These UAFs can occur on any dvb type using dvb_register_device(),
such as dvb_dvr, dvb_demux, dvb_frontend, dvb_net, etc.

So, instead of kfree() the fops dynamically allocated in
dvb_register_device() in dvb_free_device() called during the
.disconnect() process, kfree() it collectively in exit_dvbdev()
called when the dvbdev.c module is removed.
