Subject: [PATCH 6.1 294/451] NTB: EPF: fix possible memory leak in pci_vntb_probe()

From: ruanjinjie <ruanjinjie@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 956578e3d397e00d6254dc7b5194d28587f98518 ]

As ntb_register_device() don't handle error of device_register(),
if ntb_register_device() returns error in pci_vntb_probe(), 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().
