The problem with (1) is that drivers may need to use frontend_priv
on their own release callbacks.

So, I don't think this is the right fix.

I guess option (2) is the best one here.

Andrey,

Could you please test the enclosed patch?

Thanks!

dvb_frontend: don't use-after-free the frontend struct

dvb_frontend_invoke_release() may free the frontend struct.
So, we can't update it anymore after calling it.
That's OK, as __dvb_frontend_free() is called only when the
krefs are zeroed, so nobody is using it anymore.
