Subject: PCI: Fix refcount issue in pci_create_root_bus() error recovery path
From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 343df771e671d821478dd3ef525a0610b808dbf8 upstream.
After calling device_register(&bridge->dev), the bridge is reference-
counted, and it is illegal to call kfree() on it except in the release
function.
[bhelgaas: changelog, use put_device() after device_register() failure]
