Navaneeth K af0b99b221 most: core: fix resource leak in most_register_interface error paths 
[ Upstream commit 1f4c9d8a10 ]

The function most_register_interface() did not correctly release resources
if it failed early (before registering the device). In these cases, it
returned an error code immediately, leaking the memory allocated for the
interface.

Fix this by initializing the device early via device_initialize() and
calling put_device() on all error paths.

The most_register_interface() is expected to call put_device() on
error which frees the resources allocated in the caller. The
put_device() either calls release_mdev() or dim2_release(),
depending on the caller.

Switch to using device_add() instead of device_register() to handle
the split initialization.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
