Subject: [PATCHv2] ARM: drivers/amba: release the resource to allow for deferred probe

With commit "79bdcb202a35 ARM: 8906/1: drivers/amba: add reset control to
amba bus probe", the amba bus driver needs to be deferred probe because the
reset driver is probed later. However with a deferred probe, the call to
request_resource() in the driver returns -EBUSY. The reason is the driver
has not released the resource from the previous probe attempt.

This patch fixes how we handle the condition of EPROBE_DEFER that is returned
from getting the reset controls. For this condition, the patch will jump
to err_release, which will release the resource.

Fixes: 79bdcb202a35 ("ARM: 8906/1: drivers/amba: add reset control to
amba bus probe")
