5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@auroraos.dev>

commit caced3578bf9f104a4aaad8f46c4c719e705d9a6 upstream.

If CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is undefined, media_request_object_find() will
always return NULL, so its 2nd call in v4l2_ctrl_request_complete() would
fail as well as the 1st one and thus cause hdl to have a wrong value (at
the top of memory) and list_for_each_entry() to iterate over the garbage
data located there. Add NULL check for the 2nd call and place the error
cleanup at the end of v4l2_ctrl_request_complete()...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.
