V4L/DVB (10265): budget.c driver: Kernel oops: "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff

I'm using a "Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card" of PCI id "13c2:1005" with
kernel 2.6.27.9.

I've recently experienced the following fairly consistent kernel oops on
startup in grundig_29504_401_tuner_set_params from budget.c. As you
might expect, following this failure, the card doesn't work.

I'm not a kernel developer, nevertheless I seem to have managed to track
this down to a non-existent initialisation of
budget->dvb_frontend->tuner_priv.

The attached patch fixes the problem for me (and I've managed to tune
the card successfully as a result), but I don't know of anyone else
using the driver so I can't test it on other people.

Please let me know if this works for you or if I've done something
terribly wrong ;-(
