Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb-core: fix uninit-value in dvbdmx_release_ts_feed()
Author: suunj1331@gmail.com
dvb_dmx_init() allocates feed and filter arrays with vmalloc_array(),
which does not initialize the allocated memory. If an error occurs during
dvb_dmxdev_start_feed() and dvbdmx_release_ts_feed() is called on a feed
that was never properly set up, dvbdmx_release_ts_feed() reads
uninitialized fields from the feed structure, triggering a KMSAN
uninit-value warning.
Fix this by using vcalloc() instead of vmalloc_array() to ensure the
structures are zero-initialized at allocation time.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=01d4620886bee3db0e74
