If allocating array_buf fails, or copying data from userspace into that buffer fails, then just free memory and return the error. Don't attempt to call video_put_user() since there is no point, and it would copy back data on error even if INFO_FL_ALWAYS_COPY wasn't set. So if writing the array back to userspace fails, then don't go to out_array_args, instead just continue with the regular code that just returns the error unless 'always_copy' is set. Update the VIDIOC_G/S/TRY_EXT_CTRLS ioctls to set the ALWAYS_COPY flag since they now need it. Before this worked due to this buggy code, but now that that is fixed these ioctls need to set this flag explicitly.

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.
