After device is initialized via device_initialize(), or its name is set via dev_set_name(), the device has to be freed via put_device(), otherwise device name will be leaked because it is allocated dynamically in dev_set_name(). Fixes the issue by replacing kfree(shost) via two put_device() since both .shost_dev and .shost_gendev share same lifetime. Meantime move get_device(shost->shost_gendev) from scsi_add_host_with_dma to scsi_host_alloc(), so that we can grab parent's refcnt explicitly when assigning .shost_dev->parent. With this way code becomes more readable. Also call put_device(dev->parent) in scsi_host_cls_release() so that code readability can be improved.
