Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, it need be freed if device_add(&rc->dev) returns error, as comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop the reference on error. Fix it by calling put_device(&rc->dev) so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). In raid_component_release(), it will put refcount of component_dev and free 'rc', so the release code of them in error path can be removed.
