Subject: [PATCH 01/20] coresight: Fix memory leak in coresight_register

commit 6403587a930c ("coresight: use put_device() instead of kfree()")
introduced a memory leak where, if we fail to register the device
for coresight_device, we don't free the "coresight_device" object,
which was allocated via kzalloc(). Fix this by jumping to the
appropriate error path.

Fixes: commit 6403587a930c ("coresight: use put_device() instead of kfree()")
