[PATCH] media: v4l2-dev: fix error handling in __video_register_device()

[Ma Ke]

Once device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.

As comment of device_register() says, '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.'

Found by code review.
