Subject: [PATCH] nouveau: Do not leak in nv20_graph_create

If we return due to an unknown chipset in 
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv20_graph.c:nv20_graph_create() we'll leak the 
memory allocated to 'pgraph'.

This patch should fix the leak and it also disambiguates the "PGRAPH:
unknown chipset\n" error message - it's nice to be able to tell which
branch created the error which is impossible if the error messages are
100% identical.

  Don't have the hardware, so compile tested only.
