[PATCH 5.4 034/270] regulator: fix memory leak on error path of regulator_register()

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy vz@mleia.com

[ Upstream commit 9177514ce34902b3adb2abd490b6ad05d1cfcb43 ]

The change corrects registration and deregistration on error path of a regulator, the problem was manifested by a reported memory leak on deferred probe:

as3722-regulator as3722-regulator: regulator 13 register failed -517

The memory leak problem was introduced as a side ef another fix in regulator_register() error path, I believe that the proper fix is to decouple device_register() function into its two compounds and initialize a struct device before assigning any values to its fields and then using it before actual registration of a device happens.

This lets to call put_device() safely after initialization, and, since now a release callback is called, kfree(rdev->constraints) shall be removed to exclude a double free condition.
