media: v4l2-mem2mem: fix a memleak in v4l2_m2m_register_entity
[ Upstream commit 8f94b49a5b5d386c038e355bef6347298aabd211 ]
The entity->name (i.e. name) is allocated in v4l2_m2m_register_entity
but isn't freed in its following error-handling paths. This patch
adds such deallocation to prevent memleak of entity->name.
