Subject: [PATCH] uio_hv_generic: Fix another memory leak in error handling  paths

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

commit 0b0226be3a52dadd965644bc52a807961c2c26df upstream.

Memory allocated by 'vmbus_alloc_ring()' at the beginning of the probe
function is never freed in the error handling path.

Add the missing 'vmbus_free_ring()' call.

Note that it is already freed in the .remove function.

Fixes: cdfa835c6e5e ("uio_hv_generic: defer opening vmbus until first use")
