The problem is in gb_lights_request_handler(). If we get a request to
change the config then we release the light with gb_lights_light_release()
and re-allocated it. However, if the allocation fails part way through
then we call gb_lights_light_release() again. This can lead to a couple
different double frees where we haven't cleared out the original values:
gb_lights_light_v4l2_unregister(light);
...
kfree(light->channels);
kfree(light->name);
I also made a small change to how we set "light->channels_count = 0;".
The original code handled this part fine and did not cause a use after
free but it was sort of complicated to read.
