Subject: staging: bcm2835-camera: fix error handling in init

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

commit 8e17858a8818b40d66e83de2bf3724c64eaad72d upstream.

The unwinding here isn't right.  We don't free gdev[0] and instead
free 1 step past what was allocated.  Also we can't allocate "dev" then
we should unwind instead of returning directly.

Fixes: 7b3ad5abf027 ("staging: Import the BCM2835 MMAL-based V4L2 camera driver.")
