Fix a potential memory leak and cleanup error handling in
fbtft_framebuffer_alloc().
v3:
- Remove a redundant check before calling kfree
v2:
- Change the earlier patch to also handle the error code returned by
fb_deferred_io_init() and update Fixes tag to point to the commit that
introduced the memory allocation (which leads to leak).
- Add second patch to make the error handling order symmetric to
fbtft_framebuffer_release() and also remove managed allocation for
txbuf as suggested by Andy and Dan.
