device_register() always calls device_initialize() so calling device_del()
is safe even if device_register() fails. Implement the following advice
from the comment block above device_register(): "NOTE: _Never_ directly free
@dev after calling this function, even if it returned an error! Always use
put_device() to give up the reference initialized in this function instead."
Keep the kfree() call in the error path since srp_release_dev() does not
free the host.
