staging: android: fix mem leaks in __persistent_ram_init()staging-3.4-rc2

If, in __persistent_ram_init(), the call to
persistent_ram_buffer_init() fails or the call to
persistent_ram_init_ecc() fails then we fail to free the memory we
allocated to 'prz' with kzalloc() - thus leaking it.

To prevent the leaks I consolidated all error exits from the function
at a 'err:' label at the end and made all error cases jump to that
label where we can then make sure we always free 'prz'. This is safe
since all the situations where the code bails out happen before 'prz'
has been stored anywhere and although we'll do a redundant kfree(NULL)
call in the case of kzalloc() itself failing that's OK since kfree()
deals gracefully with NULL pointers and I felt it was more important
to keep all error exits at a single location than to avoid that one
harmless/redundant kfree() on a error path.
