Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, it needs be freed, when device_register() returns error. 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(), and sdbg_host is freed in sdebug_release_adapter(). When the device release is not set, it means the device is not initialized, we can not call put_device(), in this case, use kfree() to free memory.
