tegra20_channel_host1x_syncpt_init() requests two host1x syncpoints. It
stored the first one (mw ack) into chan->mw_ack_sp[0] and only then
requested the second one (frame start). If the second request failed the
function returned without releasing the first syncpoint, leaking it: the
caller tegra_channel_init() bails out with a bare "return ret" on a
syncpt init failure and does not run its free_syncpts error path (that
path only covers failures after syncpoint init has fully succeeded), and
the channel is subsequently torn down via the kfree()-only path, so
nothing ever releases the orphaned syncpoint.

Release the already-acquired syncpoint on the error path, and only
publish the syncpoints into the channel once both have been successfully
requested, so chan->mw_ack_sp[0] never holds a released handle. This
matches the handling in tegra210_channel_host1x_syncpt_init().
