Subject: [PATCH] Staging: fbtft: fix memory leak in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc

In fbtft_framebuffer_alloc the error handling path should take care of
releasing frame buffer after it is allocated via framebuffer_alloc, too.
Therefore, in two failure cases the goto destination is changed to
address this issue.
