Subject: [PATCH 5.15 612/917] driver core: Fix possible memory leak in device_link_add()

From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit df0a18149474c7e6b21f6367fbc6bc8d0f192444 ]

I got memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff88801f0b2200 (size 64):
  comm "i2c-lis2hh12-21", pid 5455, jiffies 4294944606 (age 15.224s)

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in dev_set_name()
will be leaked, the put_device() should be used instead of kfree() to give up
the device reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup() and the
references of consumer and supplier will be decreased in device_link_release_fn().
