[PATCH] drm/sti: hda: Fix bridge leak on component_add() failure

[Myeonghun Pak]

sti_hda_probe() registers its bridge before adding the component. If
component_add() fails, probe returns the error directly and leaves the
bridge registered.

The remove callback unregisters the bridge, but remove is only called
after a successful probe. Remove the bridge locally when component_add()
fails so the probe error path matches the successful-probe remove path.
