[ldv-project] [PATCH] mtd-ram: correctly free memory on error path in platram_probe()

If an error happens in mtd_device_parse_register or mtd_device_register,
memory allocated for struct platram_info is leaked.

Make platram_probe() call platram_remove() on all error paths
after struct platram_info allocation to correctly free resources.
