[PATCH] drivers/base/node: Fix double free in register_one_node()

[Donet Tom]

When device_register() fails in register_node(), it calls
put_device(&node->dev). This triggers node_device_release(),
which calls kfree(to_node(dev)), thereby freeing the entire
node structure.

As a result, when register_node() returns an error, the node
memory has already been freed. Calling kfree(node) again in
register_one_node() leads to a double free.

This patch removes the redundant kfree(node) from
register_one_node() to prevent the double free.
