arcnet: fix potential memory leak in com20020_probe()
[ Upstream commit 1c40cde6b5171d9c8dfc69be00464fd1c75e210b ]
In com20020_probe(), if com20020_config() fails, dev and info
will not be freed, which will lead to a memory leak.
This patch adds freeing dev and info after com20020_config()
fails to fix this bug.
Compile tested only.
