[PATCH 4.7 041/186] [media] media: usbtv: prevent access to freed resources

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthew Leach <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2a00932f082aff93c3a55426e0c7af6d0ec03997 upstream.

When disconnecting the usbtv device, the sound card is unregistered
from ALSA and the snd member of the usbtv struct is set to NULL.  If
the usbtv snd_trigger work is running, this can cause a race condition
where the kernel will attempt to access free'd resources, shown in
[1].

This patch fixes the disconnection code by cancelling any snd_trigger
work before unregistering the sound card from ALSA and checking that
the snd member still exists in the work function.
