fbdev: modedb: fix a possible UAF in fb_find_mode()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: modedb: fix a possible UAF in fb_find_mode()

If mode_option is NULL, it is assigned from mode_option_buf:

  if (!mode_option) {
    fb_get_options(NULL, &mode_option_buf);
    mode_option = mode_option_buf;
  }

Later, name is assigned from mode_option:

  const char *name = mode_option;

However, mode_option_buf is freed before name is no longer used:

  kfree(mode_option_buf);

while name is still accessed by:

  if ((name_matches(db[i], name, namelen) ||

Since name aliases mode_option_buf, this may result in a
use-after-free.

Fix this by extending the lifetime of mode_option_buf until the end of the
function by using scope-based resource management for cleanup.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
