[PATCH v2 8/8] coresight: Unify error handling in coresight_register()

Unify error handling during registration:

1) Failures before device registration are handled by err_out, which
   releases platform data.

2) Jump to the out_unlock label on failures after device registration
   to unwind the flow via coresight_unregister().

The "registered" variable is no longer used, remove it.
