sparc: fix error handling in scan_one_device()
commit 302c041 upstream.
Once of_device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in
kobject_cleanup().
Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add().
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.
