hci_alloc_dev() do not init the device's flag. And hci_free_dev()
using put_device() to free the memory allocated for this device,
but it calls just kfree(dev) only in case of HCI_UNREGISTER flag
is set. So any error handing before hci_register_dev() success
will cause memory leak.
To avoid this behaviour we need to set hdev HCI_UNREGISTER flag
in hci_alloc_dev_priv().
