Fix two call sites where the address of the pointer is passed instead.

Sorry, I messed up: please ignore that "fix". The 0day robot made me
realize this is indeed not a proper fix.

The issue remains, though: we cannot call video_device_release() on the
vdev structure member, as this will in turn call kfree(). Most probably,
vdev needs to be dynamically allocated, or the call to
video_device_release() dropped completely.

I prefer that vdev is dynamically allocated. There are known problems with
embedded video_device structs, so allocating it is preferred.

Minghsiu, can you do that?

Sorry for the bad patch.

Best regards,

Vincent.
