Add a check for kcalloc() to ensure successful allocation.
Moreover, add kfree() in the error-handling path to prevent memory leaks.

Fixes: 78c08247b9d3 ("mtd: Support kmsg dumper based on pstore/blk")
Cc: <stable at vger.kernel.org> # v5.10+

Changelog:

v1 -> v2:

1. Remove redundant logging.
2. Add kfree() in the error-handling path.
