I got a use-after-free report:
dvbdev: dvb_register_device: failed to create device dvb1.dvr0 (-12)

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dvb_dmxdev_release+0xce/0x2f0

When dvb_register_device() in dvb_dmxdev_init() fails, dvb_dmxdev_init()
does not return a failure, and the memory pointed to by dvbdev or
dvr_dvbdev is invalid at this point. If they are used subsequently, it
will result in UFA or null-ptr-deref.
If dvb_register_device() in dvb_dmxdev_init() fails, fix the bug by making
dvb_dmxdev_init() return an error as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
