[PATCH 2/6] media: msi2500: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure

The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before
calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error
without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),
vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued
buffers leak.
msi2500_start_streaming() had five error paths that all hit this trap
and were further tangled by ret-overwriting between calls:
- -ENODEV when the USB device was already disconnected
- -ERESTARTSYS when mutex_lock_interruptible() was interrupted
- msi2500_set_usb_adc() failure: ret was silently overwritten by
the next call (msi2500_isoc_init), so the error was lost entirely
- msi2500_isoc_init() failure: cleanup_queued_bufs was called, but
the function then fell through to msi2500_ctrl_msg() and again
masked the original error by overwriting ret
- msi2500_ctrl_msg(CMD_START_STREAMING) failure: no cleanup at all,
leaving isoc URBs submitted with no way for the driver to consume
them
Consolidate the error paths into a small goto chain. Every failure
now stops the function, drains the queued-buffer list, and returns
the real error code. The ctrl_msg failure path also rolls back the
preceding msi2500_isoc_init() via msi2500_isoc_cleanup() before
unlocking and draining.
The cleanup helper takes a vb2_buffer_state argument so that the
start_streaming error paths can pass VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED (as
expected by userspace on start_streaming failure) while stop_streaming
keeps its existing VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR semantics.
This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo:
Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").
