In case of error in build_tokens_sysfs(), all the memory that has been
allocated is freed at end of this function. But then free_group() is
called which performs memory deallocation again.

Also, 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.

Fix this issue by replacing free_group() call with exit_dell_smbios_wmi()
and exit_dell_smbios_smm().

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

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
