[PATCH v2 1/1] v4l: ioctl: Fix memory leak in video_usercopy

From: Sakari Ailus
Date: Sun Dec 20 2020 - 15:14:05 EST


When an IOCTL with argument size larger than 128 that also used array
arguments were handled, two memory allocations were made but alas, only
the latter one of them was released. This happened because there was only
a single local variable to hold such a temporary allocation.

Fix this by adding separate variables to hold the pointers to the
temporary allocations.
