AI-generated root cause summary:
A memory leak of `struct dev_iommu` occurs when `iommu_fwspec_init()` allocates
`dev->iommu` via `dev_iommu_get()`, but subsequently fails on allocating the
`iommu_fwspec` structure (e.g. via fault injection) and returns -ENOMEM without
releasing `dev->iommu`. Furthermore, callers such as `iommu_mock_device_add()`
do not invoke `dev_iommu_free()` on error from `iommu_fwspec_init()`. When
device initialization fails and the device is released, `dev->iommu` remains
allocated, causing an unreferenced object memory leak.
