[PATCH] serial: vt8500: Fix clock reference leak in vt8500_serial_probe()

of_clk_get() returns a clock with a reference that has to be released
with clk_put(). If clk_prepare_enable() fails the function returns
without doing so, leaking the reference.

Add the missing clk_put() on that error path.

Fixes: 12faa35ae5cb ("serial: vt8500: UART uses gated clock rather than 24Mhz reference")
