From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 512592779a337feb5905d8fcf9498dbf33672d4a upstream. Commit a753bfcfdb1f ("intel_th: Make the switch allocate its subdevices") factored out intel_th_subdevice_alloc() from intel_th_populate(), but got the error path wrong, resulting in two instances of a double put_device() on a freshly initialized, but not 'added' device. Fix this by only doing one put_device() in the error path.
