    pcmcia: cs: fix possible hung task and memory leak pccardd()
    
    [ Upstream commit e3ea1b4847e49234e691c0d66bf030bd65bb7f2b ]
    
    If device_register() returns error in pccardd(), it leads two issues:
    
    1. The socket_released has never been completed, it will block
       pcmcia_unregister_socket(), because of waiting for completion
       of socket_released.
    2. The device name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.
    
    Fix this two issues by calling put_device() when device_register() fails.
    socket_released can be completed in pcmcia_release_socket(), the name can
    be freed in kobject_cleanup().
