Subject: [ 25/38] PCI: Fix refcount issue in pci_create_root_bus() error recovery path

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@...il.com>

commit 343df771e671d821478dd3ef525a0610b808dbf8 upstream.

After calling device_register(&bridge->dev), the bridge is reference-
counted, and it is illegal to call kfree() on it except in the release
function.

[bhelgaas: changelog, use put_device() after device_register() failure]
