drm/i915/huc: Fix fence not released on early probe errors

HuC delayed loading fence, introduced with commit 27536e03271da
("drm/i915/huc: track delayed HuC load with a fence"), is registered with
object tracker early on driver probe but unregistered only from driver
remove, which is not called on early probe errors.  Since its memory is
allocated under devres, then released anyway, it may happen to be
allocated again to the fence and reused on future driver probes, resulting
in kernel warnings that taint the kernel:

That scenario is most easily reproducible with
igt@i915_module_load@reload-with-fault-injection.

Fix the issue by moving the cleanup step to driver release path.
