If an error occurs in the for_each loop, clk_name must be freed.

In order to do so, sightly rearrange the code:
   - move the allocation to simplify error handling
   - use kasprintf instead of kzalloc/sprintf to simplify code and avoid a
     magic number

The { } around the 1 line block after kasprintf is intentional and makes
sense with 2/2
