Once device_add() failed, we should call put_device() to decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'.
Found by code review.
