Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ubi: ubi_init: Fix missed ubiblock cleanup in error handling path

The ubiblock_init called by ubi_init will register device number, but
device number is not released in error handling path of ubi_init when
ubi is loaded by inserting module (eg. attaching failure), which leads
to subsequent ubi_init calls failed by running out of device number
(dmesg shows that "__register_blkdev: failed to get major for ubiblock").
Fix it by invoking ubiblock_exit() in corresponding error handling path.

Fixes: 927c145208b0 ("mtd: ubi: attach from device tree")
