[PATCH 1/4] tpm: in case of error properly cleanup in tpmm_chip_alloc

[Lino Sanfilippo]

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@xxxxxxxxxx>

In tpmm_chip_alloc() a resource management action handler is installed to
release the chip->dev in case of error. This will result in the chip being
freed if it was the last reference. If the installation of the handler was
not successful an error is returned to the caller.
However in this case the chip->dev reference is not put and thus the chip
is never freed. Fix this by releasing the reference "by hand" in case that
the action handler installation failed.
