If device_add() fails, call only put_device() to decrement reference
count for cleanup. Do not call device_del() before put_device().

As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should
call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has
not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'.

Found by code review.

Are you looking for possibilities to improve automated source code analyses accordingly?
