[v3] i2c: busses/i2c-pxa.c: fix potential null pointer dereference error

If it goes to eclk through line 1107, the variable res would be NULL. It will
cause a null pointer dereference error if we call release_mem_region. The
correct way should be using devm_kzalloc rather than kzalloc to allocate
memory.

You are using devm_kzalloc here but plain kfree is used later. This
won't work.
