Some subdrivers access the gspca_dev->urb array in the completion handler. To prevent use-after-free (actually, NULL dereferences) we need to synchronously kill all the URBs before we release them. In particular, this is currently the case for drivers such as sn9c20x and sonixj, which access the gspca_dev->urb[0] in the context of completion handler for *any* of the URBs. This commit changes the destroy_urb implementation, so it kills all URBs first, and then proceed to set the URBs to NULL in the array and release them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
