Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 82/87] EDAC: Fix memleak in module init error
 path

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 4708aa85d50cc6e962dfa8acf5ad4e0d290a21db ]

Make sure to use put_device() to free the initialised struct device so
that resources managed by driver core also gets released in the event of
a registration failure.
