[PATCH v3] media: vidtv: Check for null return of vzalloc
From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Fri Jan 14 2022 - 01:29:04 EST
As the possible failure of the vzalloc(), e->encoder_buf might be NULL.
Therefore, it should be better to check it in order
to guarantee the success of the initialization.
If fails, we need to free not only 'e' but also 'e->name'.
Also, if the allocation for ctx fails, we need to free 'e->encoder_buf'
else.
Fixes: f90cf6079bf6 ("media: vidtv: add a bridge driver")

Changelog
v1 -> v2
* Change 1. Add 'kfree(e->name)' if fails.
v2 -> v3
* Change 1. Fix the potential memory leak if ctx fails.
* Change 2. Use goto to instead of duplicating kfree()s.
