Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

We have this in case of error:

atmel-tcb-pwm pwm: failed to allocate memory
atmel-tcb-pwm: probe of pwm failed with error -12

Which is somehow redundant I admit...

Not directly (so far).

I constructed an approach for the semantic patch language based on
information from the script ?checkpatch.pl?.
Would you like to improve it any ways?
