nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions
Current error path on failure of validating keepout regions is calling
put_device, eventhough the device is not even registered at that point.
Fix this by adding proper error handling of freeing ida and nvmem.
