Subject: [PATCH] media: tegra-video: Fix memory leak in
 __tegra_channel_try_format()

The state object allocated by __v4l2_subdev_state_alloc() must be freed
with __v4l2_subdev_state_free() when it is no longer needed.

In __tegra_channel_try_format(), two error paths return directly after
v4l2_subdev_call() fails, without freeing the allocated 'sd_state'
object. This violates the requirement and causes a memory leak.

Fix this by introducing a cleanup label and using goto statements in the
error paths to ensure that __v4l2_subdev_state_free() is always called
before the function returns.

Fixes: 56f64b82356b7 ("media: tegra-video: Use zero crop settings if subdev has no get_selection")
Fixes: 1ebaeb09830f3 ("media: tegra-video: Add support for external sensor capture")
