firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix null-ptr-deref in dmi_sysfs_register_handle 

[ Upstream commit 18e126e97c ]

KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref error:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

It is because previous patch added kobject_put() to release the memory
which will call  dmi_sysfs_entry_release() and list_del().

However, list_add_tail(entry->list) is called after the error block,
so the list_head is uninitialized and cannot be deleted.

Move error handling to after list_add_tail to fix this.
