kfree(cpu_drcs) should be called when it fails to perform

otherwise there would be a memleak.

In fact, the patch a0ff72f9f5a7 ought to remove kfree in
find_dlpar_cpus_to_add rather than dlpar_cpu_add_by_count.
I guess there might be a mistake when apply that one.

cheers'Revert' sounds resonable to this one, glad to know that.
