Once device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
device_register() includes device_add(). As comment of device_add()
says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you
want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only
put_device() to drop the reference count'.
