[ Upstream commit ada61aa0b1184a8fda1a89a340c7d6cc4e59aee5 ]
I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in dev_set_name() will be leaked, the put_device() should be used instead of calling hwmon_dev_release() to give up the device reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup().
