drm/vkms: Fix memory leak in vkms_init()
A memory leak was reported after the vkms module install failed.

The reason is that the vkms_init() returns without checking the return value of vkms_create(), and if the vkms_create() failed, the config allocated at the beginning of vkms_init() is leaked.
vkms_init() config = kmalloc(...) # config allocated ... return vkms_create() # vkms_create failed and config is leaked
Fix this problem by checking return value of vkms_create() and free the config if error happened.
