It seems there are commands that need both a buffer for the direct ioc
argument and for array_args. If that happens, we have two kvmalloc() calls
but only one kvfree(), and that would correctly trigger the leak detector.

The direct ioc argument copy happens for arguments over 128 bytes.
Checking the sizes of the comands with array args shows

VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUF, VIDIOC_QUERYBUF, VIDIOC_QBUF, VIDIOC_DQBUF:
v4l2_buffer, 84 bytes or less

VIDIOC_G_EDID, VIDIOC_S_EDID:
v4l2_edid, 40 bytes or less

VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS, VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS, VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS:
v4l2_ext_controls, 32 bytes or less

VIDIOC_G_FMT, VIDIOC_S_FMT, VIDIOC_TRY_FMT:
v4l2_format, 204 or 208 bytes

I would conclude it's one of the last three commands, and it could be
avoided either by increasing the on-stack buffer to sizeof(struct v4l2_format),
or by restructuring this function again to have two separate pointers
for alloc/free.
