avformat_open_input leaks memory

Reported by: Justinas Owned by:

Description

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

AVFormatContext* fmt_ctx = NULL;
avformat_open_input(&fmt_ctx, "/usr/bin/ntpd", NULL, NULL);

In my system an attempt to read /usr/bin/ntpd yields "Operation not permitted", however at this point FFMPEG has already tentatively decided that this is a dv input stream. See below:

/usr/bin/ntpd: Operation not permitted

Since file operations are not permitted, avformat_open_input bails out but does not fully free the allocated format context. LeakSanitizer reports a single allocation leak around 32000 bytes.

Please test current FFmpeg git head and provide the complete, uncut valgrind output to make this a valid ticket.
