Bluetooth: Fix memory leak of hci device

hci_alloc_dev() do not init the device's flag. And hci_free_dev()
using put_device() to free the memory allocated for this device,
but it calls just put_device(dev) only in case of HCI_UNREGISTER
flag is set, So any error handing before hci_register_dev() success
will cause memory leak.
To avoid this behaviour we can using kfree() to release dev before
hci_register_dev() success.
