When ->probe() fails in some cases it may not free resources.
Replace few separated calls by v4l2_device_put() to clean up
everything.

I have no hardware and hadn't done any test of this.

For bugs with reproducers such as this one, syzbot will test your
patches really quickly.
Just push the patch somewhere and then reply to syzbot bug report mail with

#syz test: git://repo/address.git commit-hash

You can experiment with syzbot by replying only to syzbot's mail address.

See https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#testing-patches
for more details.

Cheers,
Ezequiel

The clean up everything style of error handling is always buggy.

For example, in this case, all the early error paths will now crash
instead of leaking.  The __videobuf_free() function will Oops when it
dereferences "q->int_ops->magic".

	MAGIC_CHECK(q->int_ops->magic, MAGIC_QTYPE_OPS);

The "q->int_ops" pointer is set in videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init().  There
are probably other bugs as well.  It's almost impossible to audit this
style of error handling either for completeness or for crashyness.

dan carpenter

Feel free to submit better fix, thanks!

Sure.  I'm too tired to think straight today.

I see now that syzbot actually discovered the Oops in __videobuf_free()
as well...  I'm sort of surprised that the original code never called
zr364xx_release().  We might have another reference leak somewhere...
