Matthias Schwarzott e59eb4adf0 media: cx231xx: fix use-after-free when unregistering the i2c_client for the dvb demod
Calling i2c_unregister_device for a demod driver destroys the frontend object.
Later it is accessed by calling dvb_unregister_frontend and
dvb_frontend_detach.

In some cases this leads to a general protection fault with this
callstack:

  dvb_unregister_frontend+0x25/0x50 [dvb_core]
  dvb_fini+0xdb/0x160 [cx231xx_dvb]
  cx231xx_unregister_extension+0x3d/0xb0 [cx231xx]
  cx231xx_dvb_unregister+0x10/0x809 [cx231xx_dvb]
  SyS_delete_module+0x18a/0x240
  ? exit_to_usermode_loop+0x7b/0x80
  entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x17/0x98

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.
