Kmemleak reported the following leak info in try_smi_init():

unreferenced object 0xffff00018ecf9400 (size 1024):

The problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration
and after allocating `new_smi->si_sm`, the variable wouldn't be freed in
the error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn't been
registered yet. Fix it by adding a `kfree()` in the error handling path
in `try_smi_init()`.
