[PATCH] pinctrl: single: free the IRQ on domain creation failure

pcs_irq_init_chained_handler() requests a shared IRQ on affected SoCs, but
its domain creation failure path only removes a chained handler. That does
not release the action installed by request_irq(). The probe can continue
without interrupt support while leaving the shared IRQ action registered.

Use pcs_irq_free() to undo the appropriate type of handler registration.
At this point pcs->domain is NULL, so the helper only releases the parent
IRQ handler. Then mark the IRQ invalid, as the other initialization error
paths already do, to prevent another release from a later probe unwind or
remove.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.
