Syzbot discovered that the probe error handling doesn't clean up the
resources allocated in zr364xx_board_init(). There are several
related bugs in this code so I have re-written the error handling.
1) Introduce a new function zr364xx_board_uninit() which cleans up
the resources in zr364xx_board_init().
2) In zr364xx_board_init() if the call to zr364xx_start_readpipe()
fails then release the "cam->buffer.frame[i].lpvbits" memory
before returning. This way every function either allocates
everything successfully or it cleans up after itself.
3) Re-write the probe function so that each failure path goto frees
the most recent allocation. That way we don't free anything
before it has been allocated and we can also verify that
everything is freed.
4) Originally, in the probe function the "cam->v4l2_dev.release"
pointer was set to "zr364xx_release" near the start but I moved
that assignment to the end, after everything had succeeded. The
release function was never actually called during the probe cleanup
process, but with this change I wanted to make it clear that we
don't want to call zr364xx_release() until everything is
allocated successfully.
Next I re-wrote the zr364xx_release() function. Ideally this would
have been a simple matter of copy and pasting the cleanup code from
probe and adding an additional call to video_unregister_device(). But
there are a couple quirks to note.
1) The probe function does not call videobuf_mmap_free() and I don't
know where the videobuf_mmap is allocated. I left the code as-is to
avoid introducing a bug in code I don't understand.
2) The zr364xx_board_uninit() has a call to zr364xx_stop_readpipe()
which is a change from the original behavior with regards to
unloading the driver. Calling zr364xx_stop_readpipe() on a stopped
pipe is not a problem so this is safe and is potentially a bugfix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
