From: Christophe JAILLET christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr
[ Upstream commit 45392ff6881dbe56d41ef0b17c2e576065f8ffa1 ]
This is odd to call 'pci_disable_device()' in an error path before a coresponding successful 'pci_enable_device()'.
Return directly instead.
Fixes: 77e0be12100a ("V4L/DVB (4176): Bug-fix: Fix memory overflow")
