[PATCH] media: em28xx: Fix possible memory leak of em28xx struct

From: Igor Matheus Andrade Torrente
Date: Mon May 03 2021 - 13:38:03 EST


The em28xx struct kref isn't being decreased after an error in the
em28xx_ir_init, leading to a possible memory leak.

A kref_put is added to the error handler code.
