Subject: [Linux Kernel Bug] memory leak in dvb_dmxdev_add_pid

Dear Linux Developers for DVB,

We encountered "memory leak in dvb_dmxdev_add_pid" when testing the
DVB driver with Syzkaller and our generated specifications.

The C reproducer and the config for the kernel are attached.

The memory leak originates from the allocated dmxdev_feed structure,
as referenced in the code at
[https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c#L881].
This structure fails to be freed upon entering the code branch found
at [https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c#L891].

```
