SUNRPC: Fix null-ptr-deref when xps sysfs alloc failed

There is a null-ptr-deref when xps sysfs alloc failed:
  BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in sysfs_do_create_link_sd+0x40/0xd0
  Read of size 8 at addr 0000000000000030 by task gssproxy/457

  CPU: 5 PID: 457 Comm: gssproxy Not tainted 6.0.0-09040-g02357b27ee03 #9
  Call Trace:

When the xprt_switch sysfs alloc failed, should not add xprt and
switch sysfs to it, otherwise, maybe null-ptr-deref; also initialize
the 'xps_sysfs' to NULL to avoid oops when destroy it.
