3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 701f49bc028edb19ffccd101997dd84f0d71e279 upstream.
kthread_run returns an error pointer, but elsewhere in the code
dev->kthread_vid_cap/out is checked against NULL.
If kthread_run returns an error, then set the pointer to NULL.
I chose this method over changing all kthread_vid_cap/out tests
elsewhere since this is more robust.
