[PATCH v3] fsi: Aspeed: Fix a potential double free

A struct device can never be devm_alloc()'ed.
Here, it is embedded in "struct fsi_master", and "struct fsi_master" is
embedded in "struct fsi_master_aspeed".

Since "struct device" is embedded, the data structure embedding it must be
released with the release function, as is already done here.

So use kzalloc() instead of devm_kzalloc() when allocating "aspeed" and
update all error handling branches accordingly.

This prevent a potential double free().

This also fix another issue if opb_readl() fails. Instead of a direct
return, it now jumps in the error handling path.

v2: Keep the release function which is correct
    s/devm_kzalloc()/kzalloc()/ instead

v3: Update the error handling path to free "aspeed" [Guenter Roeck]
    Fix another issue when opb_readl() fails [Guenter Roeck]

I hope that fixing both issues in the same patch is ok. It makes no sense
to me not to update the goto to the correct label if opb_readl() fails.
