Subject: [PATCH 4.19 064/421] media: v4l2-core: Avoid the dangling pointer in v4l2_fh_release

From: Lv Yunlong <lyl2019@...l.ustc.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 7dd0c9e547b6924e18712b6b51aa3cba1896ee2c ]

A use after free bug caused by the dangling pointer
filp->privitate_data in v4l2_fh_release.
See https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1419058/.

My patch sets the dangling pointer to NULL to provide
robust.
