This one is wrong. Unlike mainline, 4.19 does check return value of
vpif_probe_complete(), and thus it will lead to memory leak in 4.19.

Furthermore, I believe mainline still has a problems after this
patch. There is sync and async path where vpif_probe_complete(), and
while this fixes the sync path in mainline, I believe it will cause
memory leak on the async path.

Best regards,
