When a resource group enters pseudo-locksetup mode a pseudo_lock_region
is associated with it. When the user writes to the resource group's
schemata file the CBM of the requested pseudo-locked region is entered
into the pseudo_lock_region struct. If any part of pseudo-lock region
creation fails the resource group will remain in pseudo-locksetup mode
with the pseudo_lock_region associated with it.

In case of failure during pseudo-lock region creation care needs to be
taken to ensure that the pseudo_lock_region struct associated with the
resource group is cleared from any pseudo-locking data - especially the
CBM. This is because the existence of a pseudo_lock_region struct with a
CBM is significant in other areas of the code, for example, the display
of bit_usage and initialization of a new resource group.

Fix the error path of pseudo-lock region creation to ensure that the
pseudo_lock_region struct is cleared at each error exit.
