clocksource: Unregister subsystem on device registration failure

init_clocksource_sysfs() registers the clocksource subsystem before
registering the clocksource device. If device_register() fails, the
function returns the error while leaving the subsystem registered.

Unregister the clocksource subsystem on that failure path so the
successful subsystem registration is unwound before returning.
