[PATCH v3] console: newport_con: fix an issue about leak related system resources

A call of the function do_take_over_console() can fail here.
The corresponding system resources were not released then.
Thus add a call of iounmap() and release_mem_region()
together with the check of a failure predicate. and also
add release_mem_region() on device removal.

Fixes: e86bb8acc0fdc ("[PATCH] VT binding: Make newport_con support binding")

v2 -> v3:
	- modify commit tag CC to Cc by Andy's suggestion.
	- modify Subject 'console: console:' to 'console: newport_con:'
	  by Bartlomiej's suggestion.
	- add missing release_mem_region() on error and on device removal
	  by Bartlomiej's suggestion.
	- add correct fixes commit, before this patch, add a wrong 'Fixes:
	  e84de0c6190503 ("MIPS: GIO bus support for SGI IP22/28")'
	  thanks Bartlomiej again!

v1 -> v2:
	- modify the commit comments. The commit comments have some more
	  appropriate instructions by Markus'suggestion. here is my first
	  version commit comments:

	  if do_take_over_console() return an error in the newport_probe(),
	  due to the io virtual address is not released, it will cause a
	  leak.
