Issue details

At line 26 and 53 of ardupilot-Copter-3.6/libraries/AP_HAL_Linux/benchmarks/benchmark_videoin.cpp, there can be memory leaks.
If the buffer variable is successfully allocated and then the new_buffer variable failed to allocate a heap space, the original source code just executes return.
It causes a memory leak because it skips free(buffer).
The line 53 of the source code file is also the same as above.

---------- Original source code ----------

static void BM_Crop8bpp(benchmark::State& state)
{
    uint8_t *buffer, *new_buffer;
    uint32_t width = 640;
    uint32_t height = 480;
    uint32_t left = width / 2 - state.range_x() / 2;
    uint32_t top = height / 2 - state.range_y() / 2;

    buffer = (uint8_t *)malloc(width * height);
    if (!buffer) {
        fprintf(stderr, "error: couldn't malloc buffer\n");
        return;
    }

    new_buffer = (uint8_t *)malloc(state.range_x() * state.range_y());
    if (!new_buffer) {
        fprintf(stderr, "error: couldn't malloc new_buffer\n");
        return;
    }

    while (state.KeepRunning()) {
        Linux::VideoIn::crop_8bpp(buffer, new_buffer, width,
            left, state.range_x(), top, state.range_y());
    }

    free(buffer);
    free(new_buffer);
}
