[PATCH] V4L/DVB: potential leak in dvb-bt8xx

[Florin Malita <fmalita@gmail.com>]

If dvb_attach
<http://www.coverity.com:7448/display-error.cgi?user=fmalita&magic=8997c91336813f372812011c89e0e75e&source=2693a21be69533084392e43c4f3c5220&runid=86&table=file&line=107>(dst_attach,
...) fails in *frontend_init*(), the previously allocated 'state' is
leaked (Coverity ID 1437).

Also, when allocating 'state' the result of kmalloc() needs to be checked.
