V4L/DVB: v4l2-dev: fix memory leak

Since commit b4028437876866aba4747a655ede00f892089e14
the 'driver_data' field resides in device's struct device_private
which may be allocated by dev_set_drvdata() if device_private
struct was not allocated previously.

dev_set_drvdata() is used in video_set_drvdata() to set
the driver's private data pointer in v4l2 drivers. Setting
the private data _before_ registering the v4l2 device results
in a memory leak since __video_register_device() also calls
video_set_drvdata(), but after zeroing the device structure.
Thus, the reference to the previously allocated device_private
struct goes lost and a new device_private will be allocated.

All v4l drivers which call video_set_drvdata() _before_
calling video_register_device() are affected. The patch fixes
__video_register_device() to preserve previously allocated
device_private reference.

Caught by kmemleak.
