Subject: common clk: fix clk_register_fixed_rate() under memory pressure

From: Domenico Andreoli <cavokz@...il.com>

Under memory pressure clk_register_fixed_rate() fails to manage
allocation errors and prepares land for a later WARN_ON at best.

This fix leaves parent_names correctly initialized or NULL, intermediate
half initialized states are cleaned up and not propagated to the clock
framework.
