Subject: [PATCH 1/2] hwtracing: stm: fix vfree() nonexistent vm_area

If device_add() in stm_register_device() fails, stm_device_release()
is called to free stm, free stm again on err_device path will trigger
following warning,

  Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (0000000054b5e7bc)

Only free stm once if device_add() fails to fix it.
