Not the exact same problem actually, as the issue reported by the bot is
due to the dev->status_lock mutex being uninitialized, and it will get
initialized as soon as uvc_status_init() is called, even if it fails.

There is however another issue, if dev->status is not set to NULL in the
error path, there will be a double-free in uvc_status_cleanup(). I'll
send a patch to fix that, and then apply this one on top.
