Subject: [PATCH 5.10 251/530] node: fix device cleanups in error handling code

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 4ce535ec0084f0d712317cb99d383cad3288e713 ]

We can't use kfree() to free device managed resources so the kfree(dev)
is against the rules.

It's easier to write this code if we open code the device_register() as
a device_initialize() and device_add().  That way if dev_set_name() set
name fails we can call put_device() and it will clean up correctly.

Fixes: acc02a109b04 ("node: Add memory-side caching attributes")
