Subject: [PATCH] fsi/core: fix error handling in fsi_slave_init()

Once cdev_device_add() failed, we should use put_device() to decrement
reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak. Although
operations in err_free_ida are similar to the operations in callback
function fsi_slave_release(), put_device() is a correct handling
operation as comments require when cdev_device_add() fails.

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.
