media: ov2740: Fix memleak in ov2740_init_controls()

There is a kmemleak when testing the media/i2c/ov2740.c with bpf mock device:

ov2740_init_controls() won't clean all the allocated resources in fail path, which may causes the memleaks. Add v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() to prevent memleak.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
