Yang Yingliang df0a181494 driver core: Fix possible memory leak in device_link_add() 
I got memory leak as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff88801f0b2200 (size 64):
  comm "i2c-lis2hh12-21", pid 5455, jiffies 4294944606 (age 15.224s)

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in dev_set_name()
will be leaked, the put_device() should be used instead of kfree() to give up
the device reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup() and the
references of consumer and supplier will be decreased in device_link_release_fn().

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 Restructured Text 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.
