stm32_rtc_probe() enables rtc_ck/pclk early and unwinds them through
the err: label on every later failure -- except a failing
devm_pinctrl_register_and_init() or pinctrl_enable(), which both
return directly, leaking both clocks. -EPROBE_DEFER is a routine
outcome from pinctrl lookups during boot, so each deferred retry
leaks another reference.

Route both through the existing err: label, matching every other
post-enable failure path in this function.
