[PATCH 1/2] media: stm32-dcmi: create video dev within notifier bound

In case of an error during the initialization of the sensor,
the video device is still available since created at the
probe of the dcmi driver. Moreover the device wouldn't
be released even when removing the module since the release
is performed as part of the notifier unbind callback
(not called if no sensor is properly initialized).

This patch move the video device creation with the v4l2 notifier
bound handler in order to avoid having a video device created when
an error happen during the pipe (dcmi - sensor) initialization.

This also makes the video device creation symmetric with the
release which is already done within the notifier unbind handler.
