Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: nvidia: Release write-combining handle on probe
 failure

Failures in nvidia_set_fbinfo() or register_framebuffer() leave the handle
from arch_phys_wc_add() allocated. Release it in the shared error path,
as nvidiafb_remove() already does on normal removal.

The missing cleanup was already present in the initial Git import,
when the driver used mtrr_add() directly.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
