Subject: [PATCH] mm: memory_hotplug: fix memory error handling

The device_unregister() is supposed to be used to unregister devices if
device_register() has succeed.  And device_unregister() will put device.
The caller should not do it again, otherwise, the first call of
put_device() will drop the last reference count, then the next call
of device_unregister() will UAF on device.

Fixes: 4fb6eabf1037 ("drivers/base/memory.c: cache memory blocks in xarray to accelerate lookup")
