 vidtv_channel_pmt_match_sections()

Hi Zhou Qingyang, thanks for the patch.

Yes this is a real issue.

Yes this is the right thing to do, as vidtv_psi_pmt_stream_destroy will 
free the stream chain and all descriptors associated with it, if any.

By then aborting out of this function, we will have a PMT section 
without any streams. This is OK if the allocation failed.
