Subject: [PATCH 5.8 454/633] watchdog: Use put_device on error

From: Dinghao Liu <dinghao.liu@....edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 937425d4cd3ae4e2882b41e332bbbab616bcf0ad ]

We should use put_device() instead of freeing device
directly after device_initialize().

Fixes: cb36e29bb0e4b ("watchdog: initialize device before misc_register")
