Subject: [PATVH] media, dvb, IX2505V: Remember to free allocated memory in
 failure path (ix2505v_attach()).

Hi,

We may leak the storage allocated to 'state' in 
drivers/media/dvb/frontends/ix2505v.c::ix2505v_attach() on error.
This patch makes sure we free the allocated memory in the failure case.
