Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rapidio: rio_mport_cdev: fix possible name leak in rio_mport_add_riodev()

If rio_add_net() returns error in rio_mport_add_riodev(), the
name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed.

As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()
to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(),
and the 'net' is freed in rio_release_net().
