Subject: [PATCH] cx88-dvb avoid dangling core->gate_ctrl pointer

From: David Fries <David@...es.net>

dvb_register calls videobuf_dvb_register_bus, but if that returns
a failure the module will be unloaded without clearing the
value of core->gate_ctrl which will cause an oops in macros
called from video_open in cx88-video.c

This is with 3.2.0-rc5+, and it only fixes the oops, it doesn't
resolve why cx88-dvb failed to work.  Any ideas?
