Subject: [PATCH 5.15 460/846] Bluetooth: Fix memory leak of hci device

From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 75d9b8559ac36e059238ee4f8e33cd86086586ba ]

Fault injection test reported memory leak of hci device as follows:

hci_alloc_dev() do not init the device's flag. And hci_free_dev()
using put_device() to free the memory allocated for this device,
but it calls just put_device(dev) only in case of HCI_UNREGISTER
flag is set, So any error handing before hci_register_dev() success
will cause memory leak.

To avoid this behaviour we can using kfree() to release dev before
hci_register_dev() success.
