I'd release the memory here and NULLify legacy_io.

Here too.

Reason: If we fail to create the legacy_io file, legacy_mem will still be 
NULL, because it has been not initialized at that point. But we will try 
to remove it in pci_remove_legacy_files and in sysfs_remove_bin_file 
we're going to derefence it and blow up.
