media: i2c: ov772x: Fix memleak in ov772x_probe()

A memory leak was reported when testing ov772x with bpf mock device:

    [<0000000070baf34f>] of_i2c_register_device+0xf1/0x110

The reason is that if priv->hdl.error is set, ov772x_probe() jumps to the
error_mutex_destroy without doing v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(), and all
resources allocated in v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_new_std()
are leaked.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
