fd is local to the loop iteration, it is better to store it on stack
than modify the context.

This checks is unnecessary: One only goes to fail after the device has
been successfully opened.

1. Commit title is wrong: This is lavd.
2. Given that there is no equivalent of avformat_alloc_output_context2()
one has to use avformat_open_input() to use avdevice_list_devices().
This means that it is possible for read_header to have been called
before v4l2_get_device_list() and in this case this commit fixes a file
descriptor leak; it also avoids closing an invalid (-1) file descriptor
v4l2_read_close(). This should be mentioned in the commit message; in
fact, this is the main advantage of this commit.
(I have not checked what would have happened had I actually used this
context with the invalid file descriptor afterwards to read data.)
