hwmon_sanitize_name() allocates sfp->hwmon_name before
hwmon_device_register_with_info() is called. If the registration
fails, sfp->hwmon_dev is left pointing to an error while
sfp->hwmon_name remains allocated.
Later, when the SFP module is removed, sfp_hwmon_remove() only frees
hwmon_name when hwmon_dev is valid. As a result, hwmon_name is leaked
if hwmon_device_register_with_info() fails.
Free hwmon_name independently of hwmon_dev. Continue to unregister the
hwmon device only when hwmon_dev was successfully registered.
