Currently when the call to request_irq falls there is a memory leak of
clockevent on the error return path. Fix this by kfree'ing clockevent.

Hi Colin,

I omitted the error checking in this driver on purpose - it doesn't
make sense as the system won't boot without a timer.

One way to silence these static checker warnings is to use
"GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL".

Noted, I'll be sending a new version of this driver to Daniel anyway,
so I'll include it.
