From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently the call to cdev_add is missing a check for failure. Fix this by
checking for failure and exiting via a new error path that ensures the
allocated comp_channel struct is kfree'd.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1462359 ("Unchecked return value")
Fixes: 9bc79bbcd0c5 ("Staging: most: add MOST driver's aim-cdev module")
