Subject: [PATCH] rpmb: fix error path in rpmb_dev_register()

Until this patch was rpmb_dev_register() always freeing rdev in the
error path. However, past device_register() it must not do that since
the memory is now managed by the device even if it failed to register
properly. So fix this by doing a device_put() before returning the error
code.

Fixes the smatch warning:
        drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c:204 rpmb_dev_register()
        warn: freeing device managed memory (leak): 'rdev'

Fixes: 1e9046e3a154 ("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem")
