media: dvb-usb: m920x: Fix a potential memory leak in m920x_i2c_xfer()
[ Upstream commit ea9ef6c2e001c5dc94bee35ebd1c8a98621cf7b8 ]
'read' is freed when it is known to be NULL, but not when a read error
occurs.
Revert the logic to avoid a small leak, should a m920x_read() call fail.
Fixes: a2ab06d7c4d6 ("media: m920x: don't use stack on USB reads")
