Subject: [PATCH net] mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_dsp_element_register()

Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
use put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be
freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0.

The 'entry' is going to be freed in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so the
kfree() is removed. list_del() is called in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(),
so it need be intialized.

Fixes: 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array")
