[PATCH][media-next][V2] media: davinci_vpfe: fix memory leaks of params

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

There are memory leaks of params; when copy_to_user fails and also
the exit via the label 'error'. Also, there is a bogos memory allocation
check on pointer 'to' when memory allocation fails on params.

Fix this by kfree'ing params in error exit path and jumping to this on
the copy_to_user failure path.  Also check the to see if the allocation
of params fails and remove the bogus null pointer checks on pointer 'to'.

Also explicitly return 0 on success rather than rval.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1467966 ("Resource leak")

V2: Add checks on allocation of params.  Remove bogus checks on
    pointer 'to'. Explicitly return 0 on success. Thanks to
    Dan Carpenter for the suggested improvements.
