Subject: dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <[email protected]>

commit 56ec16cb1e1ce46354de8511eef962a417c32c92 upstream.

If cn_add_callback() fails in dm_ulog_tfr_init(), it does not
deallocate prealloced memory but calls cn_del_callback().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
