For dual-TS devices em28xx_usb_probe() creates a second em28xx instance,
dev->dev_next, and initialises it with em28xx_init_dev(), which adds it
to em28xx_devlist via em28xx_init_extension() (list_add_tail()).
On disconnect em28xx_usb_disconnect() calls em28xx_close_extension(dev),
which only unlinks the primary device from the list:
list_del(&dev->devlist);
and then frees dev->dev_next (kref_put() -> em28xx_free_device() ->
kfree()). The second device is therefore freed while it is still linked
into em28xx_devlist, leaving a dangling node behind. A later walk of
em28xx_devlist - for instance another device being unlinked in
em28xx_close_extension() during its own disconnect - then dereferences the
freed entry:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x1d4/0x200

Freed by em28xx_usb_disconnect() (kfree() of the dev_next allocated with
kmemdup() in em28xx_usb_probe()).
Unlink dev->dev_next from em28xx_devlist as well before it is freed.
