The em28xx struct kref isn't being decreased after an error in the
em28xx_ir_init, leading to a possible memory leak.
A kref_put is added to the error handler code.

This doesn't look right. em28xx_init_buttons() is already happened and
em28xx_shutdown_buttons() needs to be done from fini. fini needs to run
with this ref. If ref is released here, device might be released before
em28xx_shutdown_buttons() can run leading to potential use-after-free

This doesn't look right. Same comment as above. fini accounts for null
ir.
