Subject: [PATCH] drivers: visorbus: fix memory leak on parser_ctx

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently when the call to visorchannel_signalinsert fails the error
return path does not free parser_ctx.  Fix this by kfree'ing it on
the error return path.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1451916 ("Resource leak")

Fixes: a35e3268da51 ("staging: unisys: visorchipset: remove local_addr in handle_command")
