mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix double free on error path

commit bd637f6f22235b4613f9ab6555e8088a455c1ed4 upstream.

This one liner patch fixes double free that will occur if add_mtd_blktrans_dev
fails. On failure it frees the input argument, but all its users also free it
on error which is natural thing to do. Thus don't free it.
