Yeah, clearly it is related to the changes introduced by:
6769a0b7ee0c ("media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free on race condition at dvb_frontend")
my guess is that there's now a deadlock between semaphore fepriv->sem and
the newly-introduced fe->remove_mutex mutex.

It is probably better to revert 6769a0b7ee0c, and work on another
approach for the UAF that would use or work better with the fepriv->sem
semaphore.

Mauro
