[11/27] [media] uvcvideo: Fix crash when linking entities

From: Greg KH

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

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

From: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4d9b2ebd335d83044b9e6656d0e604e8e1300334 upstream.

The uvc_mc_register_entity() function wrongfully selects the
media_entity associated with a UVC entity when creating links. This
results in access to uninitialized media_entity structures and can hit a
BUG_ON statement in media_entity_create_link(). Fix it.
