Subject: [PATCH] firewire: fix NULL pointer deref. and resource leak
By supplying ioctl()s in the wrong order, a userspace client was able to
trigger NULL pointer dereferences. Furthermore, by calling
ioctl_create_iso_context more than once, new contexts could be created
without ever freeing the previously created contexts.
Thanks to Anders Blomdell for the report.
