Subject: [PATCH] media: usbvision: Fix a use after free in v4l2_release()

Syzbot triggered a use after free in v5.5-rc6:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in v4l2_release+0x2f1/0x390 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:459

Allocated by task 94:
 usbvision_alloc drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1315 [inline]
 usbvision_probe.cold+0x5c5/0x1f21 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1469

Freed by task 1913:
 kfree+0xd5/0x300 mm/slub.c:3957
 usbvision_release+0x181/0x1c0 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1364
 usbvision_radio_close.cold+0x2b/0x74 drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-video.c:1130
 v4l2_release+0x2e7/0x390 drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dev.c:455

The problem is that the v4l2_release() calls usbvision_release() which
frees "usbvision" but v4l2_release() still wants to use
"usbvision->vdev".  One solution is to make this devm_ allocated memory
so the memory isn't freed until later.

I copied this idea from a different driver, but I haven't tested it.
I wanted to try the #syz fix command to see if it works.
