When ->probe() fails in some cases it may not free resources.
Replace few separated calls by v4l2_device_put() to clean up
everything.

The clean up everything style of error handling is always buggy.

For example, in this case, all the early error paths will now crash
instead of leaking.  The __videobuf_free() function will Oops when it
dereferences "q->int_ops->magic".

	MAGIC_CHECK(q->int_ops->magic, MAGIC_QTYPE_OPS);

The "q->int_ops" pointer is set in videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init().  There
are probably other bugs as well.  It's almost impossible to audit this
style of error handling either for completeness or for crashyness.

Feel free to submit better fix, thanks!
