CVE-2026-64517: drm/xe/gsc: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/gsc: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path

The error path in xegscinitposthwconfig() explicitly frees a BO allocated with xemanagedbocreatepinmap() via xebounpinmapnovm(). Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered, this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure.

Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with all other xemanagedbocreatepinmap() callers.

(cherry picked from commit 71d61e3e299a17139e47f980a4d6f425b2c59bf7)
