From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab mchehab@s-opensource.com
commit b1cb7372fa822af6c06c8045963571d13ad6348b upstream.
dvb_frontend_invoke_release() may free the frontend struct. So, the free logic can't update it anymore after calling it.
That's OK, as __dvb_frontend_free() is called only when the krefs are zeroed, so nobody is using it anymore.
That should fix the following KASAN error:
