media: vidtv: fix nfeeds state corruption on start_streaming failure

syzbot reported a memory leak in vidtv_psi_service_desc_init [1].

When vidtv_start_streaming() fails inside vidtv_start_feed(), the
nfeeds counter is left incremented even though no feed was actually
started. This corrupts the driver state: subsequent start_feed calls
see nfeeds > 1 and skip starting the mux, while stop_feed calls
eventually try to stop a non-existent stream.

This state corruption can also lead to memory leaks, since the mux
and channel resources may be partially allocated during a failed
start_streaming but never cleaned up, as the stop path finds
dvb->streaming == false and returns early.

Fix by decrementing nfeeds back when start_streaming fails, keeping
the counter in sync with the actual number of active feeds.
