[PATCH] media: vicodec: fix NULL deref on oversized frame

job_ready() only honours the is_header_valid() verdict when
ctx->comp_has_frame is set, and comp_has_frame is only set once
comp_size reaches the full frame size. Since the copy is clamped to
ctx->comp_max_size, a header advertising a larger size leaves comp_size
stuck at comp_max_size, so comp_has_frame stays false and the failed
validation is discarded.
Control then falls into the resolution change branch, which calls
update_capture_data_from_header(). That function re-derives info via
info_from_header(), assigns it to q_dst->info and dereferences it as
q_dst->info->sizeimage_mult, with no NULL check of its own.
is_header_valid() does check that same info_from_header() result --
if (!info) return false which is precisely the false verdict
job_ready() discarded above. info_from_header() returns NULL whenever the
header flags resolve to no supported pixel format.
Drop the comp_has_frame conjunct so an invalid header always bails out.
The resolution change path is unaffected, as it is entered with a valid
header. Oversized frames are then rejected by device_process(), which
already returns -EINVAL when comp_frame_size exceeds comp_max_size.
Fixes: 3b15f68e19c2 ("media: vicodec: Add support for resolution change event.")
