As pointed by Dan, the commit f8fd4c61b5ae ("[media] media-entity:
protect object creation/removal using spin lock")' leads to the
following static checker warning:

drivers/media/media-entity.c:781 media_remove_intf_link()
error: dereferencing freed memory 'link'

drivers/media/media-entity.c
   777  void media_remove_intf_link(struct media_link *link)
   778  {
   779          spin_lock(&link->graph_obj.mdev->lock);
   780          __media_remove_intf_link(link);
   781          spin_unlock(&link->graph_obj.mdev->lock);

In practice, I didn't see any troubles even with KASAN enabled. I guess
gcc optimizer internally cached the mdev reference, instead of getting
it twice. Yet, it is a very bad idea to rely on such optimization. So,
let's fix the code.
