Brought to attention by Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org> by fixing possible use-after-free faults in some demod drivers: In ddb_input_detach(), the i2c_client is unregistered and removed before dvb frontends are unregistered and detached. While no use-after-free issue was observed so far, there is another issue with this: dvb->attached keeps track of the state of the input/output registration, and the i2c_client unregistration takes place only if everything was successful (dvb->attached == 0x31). If for some reason an error occurred during the frontend setup, that value stays at 0x20. In the following error handling and cleanup, ddb_input_detach() will skip down to that state, leaving the i2c_client registered, causing refcount issues. Fix this by moving the i2c_client deregistration down to case 0x20.
