So execute v4l2_rect_map_inside() even if has_compose_cap == 0.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's V4L2 test pattern generator (TPG) component allows for an out-of-bounds memory write. This issue was identified by syzkaller and is related to the handling of composition sizes in the TPG's plane buffer filling function. The vulnerability arises because the composition size can exceed the capabilities of the format's capture rectangle, leading to a memory write that goes beyond the allocated bounds.
