Subject: [PATCH] [VB2-CORE] Fixed bug about unnecessary calls to queue
 cancel and free

-When the func vb2_core_reqbufs is called first time after
 vb2_core_queue_init, the condition q->memory != memory
 always gets satisfied since q->memory = 0 in
 vb2_core_queue_init.
-After the condition is true,
 unnecessary calls to __vb2_queue_cancel and
 __vb2_queue_free are done
-In such case, *count is non-zero, q->num_buffers is zero
 and q->memory is 0 which is not equal to  memory field
 *count=N, q->num_buffers=0, q->memory != memory
