The user first executes set pes filter to create a PID, and subsequently
executes set filter to sec. Within dvb_dmxdev_filter_set(), however, only
the PES filter is stopped, and the memory associated with the PID is not
reclaimed. Consequently, when dvb_demux_release() is executed upon file
closure at which point the filter type has already been updated to
DMXDEV_TYPE_SEC, the memory consumed by the PID originally generated for
the PES filter is never reclaimed. This triggers the memory leak reported
in [1].
Added a call to dvb_dmxdev_filter_reset() during the execution of
dvb_dmxdev_filter_set() to free the PID memory.
