[ldv-project] [PATCH] [media] au0828: fix double free in au0828_usb_probe()

In case of failure au0828_v4l2_device_register() deallocates dev
and returns error code to au0828_usb_probe(), which also
calls kfree(dev) on a failure path.

The patch removes duplicated code from au0828_v4l2_device_register().
