Subject: [PATCH 7/8] Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().

From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com>

Driver core: Fix cleanup when failing device_add().

 - Don't call cleanup_device_parent() if we didn't call setup_parent().
 - dev->kobj.parent may be NULL when cleanup_device_parent() is called,
   so we need to handle glue_dir == NULL in cleanup_glue_dir().
