ptp: Fix possible memory leak in ptp_clock_register()
[ Upstream commit 4225fea1cb28370086e17e82c0f69bec2779dca0 ]
I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:
unreferenced object 0xffff88800906c618 (size 8):
comm "i2c-idt82p33931", pid 4421, jiffies 4294948083 (age 13.188s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
70 74 70 30 00 00 00 00 ptp0....

When posix_clock_register() returns an error, the name allocated
in dev_set_name() will be leaked, the put_device() should be used
to give up the device reference, then the name will be freed in
kobject_cleanup() and other memory will be freed in ptp_clock_release().
