media: lgdt3306a: Set fe ops.release to NULL if probed
If release is part of frontend ops then it is called in the course of dvb_frontend_detach. The process also decrements the module usage count. The problem is if the lgdt3306a driver is reached via i2c_new_device, then when it is eventually destroyed remove is called, which further decrements the module usage count to negative. After this occurs the driver is in a bad state and no longer works. Also fixed by NULLing out the release callback is a double kfree of state, which introduces arbitrary oopses/GPF. This problem is only currently reachable via the em28xx driver.
