media: vidtv: fix reference leak on failed device registration

When platform_device_register() fails in vidtv_bridge_init(), the
embedded struct device in vidtv_bridge_dev has already been initialized
by device_initialize(), but the failure path returns the error without
dropping the device reference for the current platform device:

  vidtv_bridge_init()
    -> platform_device_register(&vidtv_bridge_dev)
       -> device_initialize(&vidtv_bridge_dev.dev)
       -> setup_pdev_dma_masks(&vidtv_bridge_dev)
       -> platform_device_add(&vidtv_bridge_dev)

This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails.
Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before returning the error.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
