Should tc589_config() fail, some resources need to be released as already

Fixes: 15b99ac17295 ("[PATCH] pcmcia: add return value to _config() functions")

That commit is probably going back far enough, but I actually
suspect the problem has been there since the beginning of git history.

In fact, before that commit, the probe was always returning 0, so there was no need for an error handling path.

FYI, commit 15b99ac17295 ("[PATCH] pcmcia: add return value to _config() functions") messed up many drivers for the same reason. I sent a few patches to see if there was an interest to fix these (really) old drivers, most linked with pcmcia which seems to slowly be removed from the kernel.

So I'm a bit unsure if fixing it really matters.
Let see if I collect some other R-b tags for the other patches.
