If device_register() returns error, the name allocated by the dev_set_name() need be freed. As described in the comment of device_register(), we should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. Fix this by calling put_device(), the name will be freed in the kobject_cleanup(), and this patch modified resources will be released by calling the corresponding callback function in the device_release().
