Subject: [PATCH] hid: elo: fix memory leak in elo_probe

From: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@...il.com>

When hid_parse in elo_probe fails, it forgets to call usb_put_dev to
decrease the refcount.

Fix this by adding usb_put_dev in the error handling code of elo_probe

Fixes: fbf42729d0e9 ("HID: elo: update the reference count of the usb device structure")
