[PATCH] vfio/mdev: fix possible memory leak in module init funcs

From: ruanjinjie
Date: Thu Nov 17 2022 - 22:32:34 EST


Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails,
but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name
allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling
put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup().
