That looks good. However looking into the error path more closely it
appears that this was already rather broken. Here's the original:

> 	video_unregister_device(rga->vfd);

video_device_release() is simply a call to kfree(), but
video_unregister_device will then be called with the same pointer
(rga->vfd is set to vfd further up). Which will then cause a
use-after-free on the pointer.

It might be a good idea to test this error path, for example make the
video_register_device() call always fail and run with memory debuggers
enabled (e.g. CONFIG_KASAN or CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEM_LEAK).
