[PATCH 1/2] clk: Fix error handling in fixed clock hardware type register fn

If memory allocation for the parents array or the parent string fails, then
fail the registration immediately instead of calling clk_register and
hoping it fails there.

Return -ENOMEM on failure.

There are still some memory free issues when clk_register() fails, but I will
fix it when I fixed the other register() fns to return ENOMEM of alloc
failure instead of a NULL.
