acpi_video_bus_get_devices() may fail due to some video output device doesn't have the _ADR method, and in this case, the error processing is to simply free the video structure in acpi_video_bus_add(), while leaving those already registered video output devices in the wild, which means for some video output device, we have already registered a backlight interface and installed a notification handler for it. So it can happen when user is using this system, on hotkey pressing, the notification handler will send a keycode through a non-existing input device, causing kernel freeze. To solve this problem, free all those already registered video output devices once something goes wrong in acpi_video_bus_get_devices(), so that no wild backlight interfaces and notification handlers exist.
