cxusb_medion_register_analog_video() allocates a video_device with
video_device_alloc() and releases it from the ret_vrelease error path if
video_register_device() fails.
This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()
reaches device_register() and that call fails:
video_register_device()
-> __video_register_device()
-> device_register() fails
-> put_device(&vdev->dev)
-> v4l2_device_release()
-> vdev->release(vdev)
-> cxusb_medion_videodev_release(vdev)
cxusb_medion_register_analog_video()
-> ret_vrelease
-> video_device_release(cxdev->videodev)
Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that
registration failure paths do not free cxdev->videodev through
vdev->release(). cxusb_medion_register_analog_video() then releases
cxdev->videodev exactly once from ret_vrelease. Restore
cxusb_medion_videodev_release() after successful registration so the
registered device keeps its normal lifetime handling.
This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
