The watchdog miscdevice and reboot notifier are registered before the RTC
device. If RTC device registration fails, probe returns without undoing
either registration. The remove callback is not called after probe
failure, leaving callbacks tied to a device whose driver failed to bind.
Those callbacks continue to dereference the file-global save_client.

Unregister the notifier and miscdevice before returning the RTC
registration error.
