Coverity reported that I forgot to clean up some allocated memory on the
error path in populate_msi_sysfs(), so this patch fixes that.

Thanks to Dave Jones for pointing out where the error was, I obviously
can't read code this morning...

Fixes: 1c51b50c2995 ("PCI/MSI: Export MSI mode using attributes, not kobjects")

I think it doesn't help that you have 'msi_attr' and 'msi_attrs'.
My eyes kinda glazed over a few times reading those.

Applied to my pci/msi branch, thanks!
