Subject: [PATCH] remoteproc: qcom: Fix leak when custom dump_segments addition
 fails

Free allocated minidump_region 'name' in qcom_add_minidump_segments()
when failing before adding the region to 'dump_segments'. Otherwise,
the 'name' is not tracked and is never freed by qcom_minidump_cleanup().

Return error when adding to 'dump_segments' fails.
