fbdev: platinumfb: add error checking for ioremap calls

This commit adds error checking for ioremap() and ioremap_wt() calls in
platinumfb_probe() to prevent NULL pointer dereferences. It also transitions
the function to use goto-based cleanup for handling initialization failures.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but by adding this new error path, the code
propagates an unsafe assumption.

Earlier in platinumfb_probe(), the return value of request_mem_region()
is ignored:

	request_mem_region(pinfo->cmap_regs_phys, 0x1000, "platinumfb cmap");
	pinfo->cmap_regs = ioremap(pinfo->cmap_regs_phys, 0x1000);

If request_mem_region() fails (for instance, if the region is already
claimed), execution continues. If a subsequent step like ioremap() or
platinum_init_fb() then fails, the code will jump to this newly added
err_release_cmap label and unconditionally release the region.

Because __release_region() searches by address and doesn't verify the caller,
could this forcefully free an I/O memory region that actually belongs to
another driver, potentially leading to resource tree corruption or a
use-after-free?
