mmc: mxcmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
[ Upstream commit cde600af7b413c9fe03e85c58c4279df90e91d13 ]
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call
mmc_free_host().
