scsi: efct: Fix possible memleak in efct_device_init()

In efct_device_init(), when efct_scsi_reg_fc_transport() fails,
efct_scsi_tgt_driver_exit() is not called to release memory for
efct_scsi_tgt_driver_init() and causes memleak:

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 5.15.86, 6.0.16, 6.1.2
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.86, 6.0.16, 6.1.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
