rpmsg: virtio: Fix possible double free in rpmsg_probe()
[ Upstream commit c2eecefec5df1306eafce28ccdf1ca159a552ecc ]
vch will be free in virtio_rpmsg_release_device() when
rpmsg_ns_register_device() fails. There is no need to call kfree() again.
Fix this by changing error path from free_vch to free_ctrldev.
