[PATCH] input: psmouse: fix potential input register race in psmouse_connect()

If we successfully call input_register_device() in psmouse_connect but sysfs_create_group() fails, we'll enter the error path without ever having called input_unregister_device() (potentially leaking memory, or creating a race condition if something else attempts to access the new input device).
