Syzbot reports a memory leak in "dvb_usb_adapter_init()".
The leak is due to not accounting for and freeing current iteration's
adapter->priv in case of an error. Currently if an error occurs, 
it will exit before incrementing "num_adapters_initalized", 
which is used as a reference counter to free all adap->priv 
in "dvb_usb_adapter_exit()". There are multiple error paths that
can exit from before incrementing the counter. Including the
error handling paths for "dvb_usb_adapter_stream_init()", 
"dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init()" and "dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_init()"
within "dvb_usb_adapter_init()".

This means that in case of an error in any of these functions the 
current iteration is not accounted for and the current iteration's 
adap->priv is not freed.

Fix this by freeing the current iteration's adap->priv in the 
"stream_init_err:" label in the error path. The rest of the 
(accounted for) adap->priv objects are freed in dvb_usb_adapter_exit()
as expected using the num_adapters_initalized variable. 

Syzbot report:

v2->v3:
	- Follow standard kernel pattern by moving error handling 
	to label instead as suggested by Lukas Bulwhan.
	- Adjust commit description to include syzbot report, 
	The "Reported-and-tested-by" tag and clarify the commit message.
