Sorry, I messed up: please ignore that "fix". The 0day robot made me
realize this is indeed not a proper fix.

The issue remains, though: we cannot call video_device_release() on the
vdev structure member, as this will in turn call kfree(). Most probably,
vdev needs to be dynamically allocated, or the call to
video_device_release() dropped completely.

Sorry for the bad patch.

Best regards,

Vincent.
