Oh crap.  This function doesn't clean up after itself, but instead
returns to a One Magical Cleanup Function...  This style of error
handling is *ALWAYS* buggy.  But in this case I only see a very minor
leak.

These two cleanups are under one ->registered flag but they are
allocated separately.  So if we only complete one action and not the
second then the flag is not set and we don't call media_device_cleanup().
(This is one of many typical problems with One Magical Cleanup Function
Style).

It's just such a headache to review...  (That's why it's so bug prone).

If you wrote it in Free the Last Thing Style then you could get rid
of a bunch of flags like ->media_device_registered and
->media_entity_registered because at that point you would always know
what you had done and hadn't done.
