[PATCH] soc: mediatek: SVS: Fix memory leak in svs_enable_debug_write()

In svs_enable_debug_write(), the buf is allocated via memdup_user_nul().
If kstrtoint() fails, the function returns directly without freeing the
allocated memory, leading to a memory leak.

Fix this by freeing buf before returning the error code.
