It seems that it's possible to get -ENOMEM from gk20a_clk_ctor().
The call chain is as follows:
gk20a_clk_ctor() <- nvkm_clk_ctor() <- nvkm_notify_init()

When nvkm_notify_init() returns -ENOMEM, all of its callers (and 
callers of callers) will be influenced if there is a failed
kzalloc inside which. 

In this case, maybe we should check the return value of 
gk20a_clk_ctor() and release clk if it returns -ENOMEM. 
And many other functions also have the same issue (e.g.,
gm20b_clk_new_speedo0). Do you have any idea about this 
problem?
