[81/89] V4L/DVB (13961): em28xx-dvb: fix memleak in dvb_fini()

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Francesco Lavra <francescolavra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 19f48cb105b7fa18d0dcab435919a3a29b7a7c4c upstream.

this patch fixes a memory leak which occurs when an em28xx card with DVB
extension is unplugged or its DVB extension driver is unloaded. In
dvb_fini(), dev->dvb must be freed before being set to NULL, as is done
in dvb_init() in case of error.
Note that this bug is also present in the latest stable kernel release.
