5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 891e0eab32a57fca4d36c5162628eb0bcb1f0edf upstream.
If device_register() fails, the refcount of device is not 0, the name allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. To fix this by calling put_device(), so that it will be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup().

fw_unit_release() will be called in the error path, move fw_device_get() before calling device_register() to keep balanced with fw_device_put() in fw_unit_release().
