Input: serio HIL MLC - don't deref null, don't leak and return proper error
While reviewing various users of kernel memory allocation functions I came
across drivers/input/serio/hil_mlc.c::hil_mlc_register() and noticed that:

 - it calls kzalloc() but fails to check for a NULL return before use.
 - it makes several allocations and if one fails it doesn't free the
   previous ones.
 - It doesn't return -ENOMEM in the failed memory allocation case (it just
   crashes).

This patch corrects all of the above and also reworks the only caller of
this function that I could find
(drivers/input/serio/hp_sdc_mlc.c::hp_sdc_mlc_out()) so that it now checks
the return value of hil_mlc_register() and properly propagates it on
failure and I also restructured the code to remove some labels and goto's
to make it, IMHO nicer to read.
