[PATCH v3] media: meson: vdec: Fix memory leak in error path of vdec_open

[Anand Moon]

The vdec_open() function previously jumped directly to
err_m2m_release when vdec_init_ctrls() failed, skipping
release of the m2m context. This caused a resource leak.

Fix it by introducing a proper err_m2m_ctx_release label
that calls v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(sess->m2m_ctx) before
releasing the m2m device.

This was identified via kmemleak:
