media: rtl2832_sdr: use vb2_video_unregister_device() on remove to fix DMA leak
rtl2832_sdr_remove() runs on USB disconnect and clears dev->udev to
NULL before any pending streaming teardown has run. When user space
later closes its file descriptor, vb2 calls rtl2832_sdr_stop_streaming()
which in turn calls rtl2832_sdr_free_stream_bufs(). That helper releases
each coherent buffer with:
usb_free_coherent(dev->udev, dev->buf_size,
dev->buf_list[dev->buf_num],
dev->dma_addr[dev->buf_num]);
usb_free_coherent() returns immediately when its dev argument is NULL,
so every DMA stream buffer that was live at disconnect is silently
leaked. The URBs allocated in rtl2832_sdr_alloc_urbs() outlive the
device for the same reason.
The rtl2832_sdr driver uses vb2_fop_release() in its file_operations,
so replace video_unregister_device(&dev->vdev) with
vb2_video_unregister_device(&dev->vdev) and move it before clearing
dev->udev. vb2_video_unregister_device() releases the vb2 queue, which
synchronously runs rtl2832_sdr_stop_streaming() if streaming is active,
so URBs and coherent DMA stream buffers are freed while dev->udev is
still valid.
vb2_video_unregister_device() locks vdev->queue->lock (vb_queue_lock)
internally, and stop_streaming() locks v4l2_lock, so the previous outer
mutex_lock(&dev->vb_queue_lock) / mutex_lock(&dev->v4l2_lock) pair
around the unregister sequence would self-deadlock and has been removed.
A short v4l2_lock critical section around dev->udev = NULL remains so
any ioctl path that still holds the file descriptor sees coherent state.
