A memory leak was reported after the vkms module install failed.
unreferenced object 0xffff88810bc28520 (size 16):
comm "modprobe", pid 9662, jiffies 4298009455 (age 42.590s)

The reason is that the vkms_init() returns without checking the return
value of vkms_create(), and if the vkms_create() failed, the config
allocated at the beginning of vkms_init() is leaked.
vkms_init()
config = kmalloc(...) # config allocated
...
return vkms_create() # vkms_create failed and config is leaked
Fix this problem by checking return value of vkms_create() and free the
config if error happened.
