[PATCH v2] RDMA/srp: Fix error handling in srp_add_port

From: Ma Ke
Date: Tue Dec 17 2024 - 05:47:54 EST


Once device_add() failed, we should call only put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. We should 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.
