[PATCH] dell-smbios: fix double free in dell_smbios_init() and fixes in dell_smbios_exit()

From: Rustam Subkhankulov

If an error occurs in function build_tokens_sysfs(), then all the memory
that has been allocated is correctly freed at certain labels at the end
of this function.

build_tokens_sysfs() returns a non-zero value on error, function
free_group() is called, resulting in a double-free. Removing
free_group() function call will fix this problem.

Also, it seems that instead of free_group() call, there should be
exit_dell_smbios_smm() and exit_dell_smbios_wmi() calls, since there is
initialization, but there is no release of resources in case of an error.

Since calling 'exit' functions for 'smm' and 'wmi' is unsafe if
initialization failed, in dell_smbios_exit() and dell_smbios_init()
we need to call 'exit' only if initialization before was successful.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
