[media] media-entity: cache media_device on object removal
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.
