Subject: [PATCH] media: vidtv: Check for null return of vzalloc

As the possible failure of the vzalloc(), e->encoder_buf might be NULL.
Therefore, it should be better to check it like the kzalloc() in order
to guarantee the success of the initialization.

Fixes: f90cf6079bf6 ("media: vidtv: add a bridge driver")
