From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> If device_register() returns error in ntb_register_device(), the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
