misc: ocxl: fix possible name leak in ocxl_file_register_afu()

Browse source

[ Upstream commit a4cb1004ae ]

If device_register() returns error in ocxl_file_register_afu(),
the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment
of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give
up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(),
and info is freed in info_release().
