Subject: [resend, PATCH v1 1/2] parport: Clean up resources correctly when parport_register_port() fails

The smatch warns about uncleaned resources in case the
parport_register_port() fails:

  parport_register_port() warn: '&tmp->full_list' not removed from list

This is indeed an issue introduced when converting code to use
kasprintf(). However, the whole kasprintf() dance in this case
is not needed as dev_set_name() can handle the formatted input
and produces the same result. So, the solution is to delegate
name forming to the dev_set_name() and make device_register()
error path to deal with error handling (via put_device() call).

Fixes: 8d8ae17eb0de ("parport: Use kasprintf() instead of fixed buffer formatting")
