[PATCH 3.16 001/328] EDAC: Fix memleak in module init error path

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4708aa85d50cc6e962dfa8acf5ad4e0d290a21db upstream.

Make sure to use put_device() to free the initialised struct device so
that resources managed by driver core also gets released in the event of
a registration failure.
