commit c666355e60 upstream.
Change devm_k*alloc to k*alloc to manually allocate memory
The manual allocation and freeing of memory is necessary because when
the USB radio is disconnected, the memory associated with devm_k*alloc
is freed. Meaning if we still have unresolved references to the radio
device, then we get use-after-free errors.
This patch fixes this by manually allocating memory, and freeing it in
the v4l2.release callback that gets called when the last radio device
exits.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
