[PATCH 6.3 170/187] Revert "media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free on race condition at dvb_frontend"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit ec21a38df77a5aefbd2f70c48127003b6f259cf3 ]

As reported by Thomas Voegtle <tv@lio96.de>, sometimes a DVB card does
not initialize properly booting Linux 6.4-rc4. This is not always, maybe
in 3 out of 4 attempts.

After double-checking, the root cause seems to be related to the
UAF fix, which is causing a race issue:
