The previous commit 6a192c0cbf38 ("platform/x86/intel/tpmi: Fix double free reported by Smatch") incorrectly handle the deallocation of res variable. As shown in the comment, intel_vsec_add_aux handles all the deallocation of res and feature_vsec_dev. Therefore, kfree(res) can still cause double free if intel_vsec_add_aux returns error. Fix this by adjusting the error handling part in tpmi_create_device, following the function intel_vsec_add_dev.
