mtd: fix memory leak in mtd_dataflash
Fix a potential memory leak in mtd_dataflash driver. The private data that is allocated when registering a DataFlash device with the MTD subsystem is not released if an error occurs when add_mtd_partitions() or add_mtd_device() is called. Fix this by adding an error path. The memory is already released during a remove. Also, add a dev_set_drvdata(&spi->dev, NULL) before the kfree() so that the spi device does not reference invalid data.
