From: sumitg <sumitg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Fixing use-after-free within __v4l2_ctrl_handler_setup().
Memory is being freed with kfree(new_ref) for duplicate
control reference entry but ctrl->cluster pointer is still
referring to freed duplicate entry resulting in error on
access. Change done to update cluster pointer only when new
control reference is added.

v4:
* update ctrl->cluster only when new control reference is added.

v3:
* update ctrl->cluster only when new control reference is added.
* add new ctrl to handler only if the cluster points to an entry.

v2:
* update ctrl->cluster only when new control reference is added.
* check ctrl->ncontrols to avoid illegal access when cluster has zero controls.
