mtd: fix memory leaks in phram_setup
There are two code paths in drivers/mtd/devices/phram.c::phram_setup() that
will leak memory.
Memory is allocated to the variable 'name' with kmalloc() by the
parse_name() function, but if we leave by way of the parse_err() macro,
then that memory is never kfree()'d, nor is it ever used with
register_device() so it won't be freed later either - leak.
Found by the Coverity checker as #593 - simple fix below.
