Subject: [PATCH] drivers: dio: fix possible memory leak in dio_init()

If device_register() returns error, the 'dev' and name needs be
freed. Add a release function, and then call put_device() in the
error path, so the name is freed in kobject_cleanup() and to the
'dev' is freed in release function.

Fixes: 2e4c77bea3d8 ("m68k: dio - Kill warn_unused_result warnings")
Fixes: 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array")
