7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <[email protected]>

commit 9da976eb649c9e2f588a4499410e4d8af687925f upstream.

In sur40_probe(), input_register_device() was previously called early before
the V4L2 video device and vb2_queue components were fully initialized. If
userspace opened the input device immediately upon registration, sur40_open()
would trigger and start the sur40_poll() worker thread. This worker thread
invokes sur40_process_video() and accesses the uninitialized vb2_queue
structure, leading to a data race and potential system crash.

Furthermore, if V4L2 or video registration failed after input_register_device()
succeeded, the error path fell through to calling input_free_device() on a
successfully registered device instead of input_unregister_device(), corrupting
input core state.

Move input_register_device() to the very end of sur40_probe(). This ensures
the V4L2 and video queue structures are fully initialized before polling can
start, and naturally resolves the error path bug since input_free_device()
is now only called when input registration has not yet occurred.

To maintain strict LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) teardown ordering, also move
input_unregister_device() to the very beginning of sur40_disconnect(). This
guarantees that the input polling worker thread is stopped before V4L2
video components or control handlers are unregistered.
