accel: ethosu: Fix probe error cleanup

This patch unwinds initialized resources on both failure paths in probe:
ethosu_init() and drm_dev_register(). It also avoids calling drm_sched_fini()
after a failed drm_sched_init().

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it safe that the IRQ handler is registered
and unmasked before the device clocks are enabled?

In ethosu_probe(), ethosu_job_init() is called before ethosu_init():

ethosu_drv.c:ethosu_probe() {
        ...
        ret = ethosu_job_init(ethosudev);
        if (ret)
                return ret;

        ret = ethosu_init(ethosudev);
        ...
}

Inside ethosu_job_init(), devm_request_threaded_irq() unmasks the IRQ. If a
pending interrupt from a prior boot or a spurious interrupt fires, the handler
ethosu_job_irq_handler() executes and immediately reads NPU_REG_STATUS.

However, the hardware clocks are not enabled until ethosu_init() calls
ethosu_device_resume(). Could accessing this register with disabled clocks
trigger a synchronous external abort and crash the system?

[Severity: High]
Could the devm-managed IRQ trigger a use-after-free or a crash during this
teardown window on probe failure?

This patch adds ethosu_job_fini() to the probe error path. When
ethosu_job_fini() executes, it tears down the DRM scheduler via
drm_sched_fini().

Because the IRQ was allocated via devm_request_threaded_irq() in
ethosu_job_init() and is not explicitly disabled before ethosu_job_fini(), the
interrupt remains active until the probe function returns and the devres
cleanup runs.

If an interrupt fires in this window, the handler could access the destroyed
scheduler when calling drm_sched_fault(&dev->sched). Additionally, since
ethosu_init() already suspended the device on its successful path, could the
handler crash the system by reading the status register with clocks disabled?
