Subject: [PATCH] vdpa_sim: fix possible memory leak in vdpasim_net_init() and vdpasim_blk_init()

If device_register() returns error in vdpasim_net_init() or
vdpasim_blk_init(), name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name()
called in device_add() is leaked.

As comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop
the reference count that was set in device_initialize() when it fails,
so the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
