Here is a backtrace report about memory leak detected in
gpiochip_setup_dev():

unreferenced object 0xffff88810b406400 (size 512):
   comm "python3", pid 1682, jiffies 4295346908 (age 24.090s)
   backtrace:
     kmalloc_trace
     device_add		device_private_init at drivers/base/core.c:3361
			(inlined by) device_add at drivers/base/core.c:3411
     cdev_device_add
     gpiolib_cdev_register
     gpiochip_setup_dev
     gpiochip_add_data_with_key

gcdev_register() & gcdev_unregister() would call device_add() &
device_del() (no matter CONFIG_GPIO_CDEV is enabled or not) to
register/unregister device.

However, if device_add() succeeds, some resource (like
struct device_private allocated by device_private_init())
is not released by device_del().

Therefore, after device_add() succeeds by gcdev_register(), it
needs to call put_device() to release resource in the error handle
path.

Here we move forward the register of release function, and let it
release every piece of resource by put_device() instead of kfree().

While at it, fix another subtle issue, i.e. when gc->ngpio is equal
to 0, we still call kcalloc() and, in case of further error, kfree()
on the ZERO_PTR pointer, which is not NULL. It's not a bug per se,
but rather waste of the resources and potentially wrong expectation
about contents of the gdev->descs variable.

Fixes: 159f3cd92f17 ("gpiolib: Defer gpio device setup until after gpiolib initialization")

changes in v5 (done by Andy):
   - refactored to avoid double checks on the same conditionals
   - moved kcalloc() after validating its parameter
   - compiled tested only by me (Andy)

I have applied the patch on local environment, and it works fine after rough test

(which is based on QEMU simulated).

Best regards,

Zeng Heng

changes in v4:
   - add gpiochip_print_register_fail()
changes in v3:
   - use put_device() instead of kfree() explicitly
changes in v2:
   - correct fixes tag
