When video_register_device() fails in msi2500_probe(), the error path
jumps to err_unregister_v4l2_dev, which skips the call to
v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(). This leaks memory allocated by
v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_add_handler().
This bug was introduced when commit 2e68f841a5d1 ("[media] msi3101:
use msi001 tuner driver") reordered the cleanup labels, placing
err_free_controls above err_unregister_v4l2_dev, but did not update
the goto target in the video_register_device() failure path.
Fix this by jumping to err_free_controls instead, which properly frees
the control handler before unregistering the v4l2 device.
