#4670 closed patch (fixed)

If buffer alloc fails, dvd file should be closed

Description

In the function DVDDiscID, in the file dvd_reader.c, in libmythdvdnav the function allocates a buffer to store some disc id information. If that allocation fails the function returns but the dvd file is still open. Which means that both the dvd file struct and the file handle associated to that dvd file are leaked.

(In [16156]) Fix a possible memory leak in libmythdvdnav.

If DVDDiscID() fails to allocate its needed buffer then it was exiting without first closing the file it opened.
