As reported by Thomas Voegtle <[email protected]>, 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:

Note that CVE-2022-45885 was assigned for the original issue as a
security bug, and now it's reopened by this revert.
Please let me know if you have a fix in another form.
