[PATCH v2 3/7] gstreamer: Reduce indentation in gst_libcamera_create_video_pool()

[Laurent Pinchart]

Now that video pool creation is handled by a dedicated function, the
logic can be simplified by returning early instead of nesting scopes. Do
so to decrease indentation and improve readability, and document the
implementation of the function with comments.

Changes since v1:

- Fixed regression that didn't allocate a pool when the peer allocation
  can't be queried
- Document the implementation of the gst_libcamera_create_video_pool()
  function with comments
