tbf, this is a different patch, concerning the allocation of the 
codec_info within inst, not inst itself.

for consistency, would be better to jump to cleanup_inst.

Also, maybe consider embedding codec_info  in to struct vpu_instance to 
avoid the double alloc. I've not checked whether this is viable 
throughout the code, but from a quick scan of the original patch, it 
looks like it is always allocated and freed alongside inst.
