acpi_video_bus_add_notify_handler() could free video->input and
set it to NULL on failure, but this failure would be missed in its
caller acpi_video_bus_add(). As a result, when an error happens in
acpi_dev_install_notify_handler(), acpi_video_bus_add() would call
acpi_video_bus_remove_notify_handler(), where a potential NULL pointer
video->input is dereferenced in input_unregister_device().
Fix this by adding a return value check and adjusting the following
error handling code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
