Subject: gpio: mockup: fix resource leak in error path
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1b02d9e770cd7087f34c743f85ccf5ea8372b047 upstream
If the module init function fails after creating the debugs directory,
it's never removed. Add proper cleanup calls to avoid this resource
leak.
