media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free on race condition at dvb_frontend
If the device node of dvb_frontend is open() and the device is disconnected, many kinds of UAFs may occur when calling close() on the device node. The root cause of this is that wake_up() for dvbdev->wait_queue is implemented in the dvb_frontend_release() function, but wait_event() is not implemented in the dvb_frontend_stop() function. So, implement wait_event() function in dvb_frontend_stop() and add 'remove_mutex' which prevents race condition for 'fe->exit'.
