Subject: [PATCH] clk: meson: meson8b: fix a memory leak in meson8b_clkc_init_common()

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@...mail.com>

`rstc` is allocated by kzalloc() for resetting the controller register,
however, if reset_controller_register() fails, `rstc` is not properly
released before returning, which can lead to memory leak.
Therefore, this patch adds kfree(rstc) on the above error path.
