In cases where imx_clk_is_resource_owned() returns false, the code path
does not handle the failure gracefully, potentially leading to a memory
leak. This fix ensures proper cleanup by freeing the allocated memory
for 'clk_node' before returning.

Use another label so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused
at the end of this function.
