pstore/ram: Fix failure-path memory leak in ramoops_init

As reported by nixiaoming, with some minor clarifications:

1) memory leak in ramoops_register_dummy():
   dummy_data = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy_data), GFP_KERNEL);
   but no kfree() if platform_device_register_data() fails.

2) memory leak in ramoops_init():
   Missing platform_device_unregister(dummy) and kfree(dummy_data)
   if platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver) fails.

I've clarified the purpose of ramoops_register_dummy(), and added a
common cleanup routine for all three failure paths to call.
