Subject: [PATCH v2] usb: fix reference leak in usb_new_device()

When device_add(&udev->dev) failed, calling put_device() to explicitly
release udev->dev. And the routine which calls usb_new_device() does
not call put_device() when an error occurs. As comment of device_add()
says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you
want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only
put_device() to drop the reference count'.

Found by code review.
