    V4L/DVB (7035): drivers/media/common: Add missing video_device_release
    
    Video_device_alloc returns the result of a kzalloc.  In this case, the
    value is stored in a local variable which is not copied elsewhere before
    the point of the error return (video_register_device does not save its
    first argument anywhere if it returns a negative value).  Thus, a
    video_device_release it needed before the error return.
    
    The problem was found using the following semantic match.
