firewire: core: fix possible memory leak in create_units()

commit 891e0eab upstream.

If device_register() fails, the refcount of device is not 0, the name
allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. To fix this by calling put_device(),
so that it will be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup().

unreferenced object 0xffff9d99035c7a90 (size 8):
  comm "systemd-udevd", pid 168, jiffies 4294672386 (age 152.089s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    66 77 30 2e 30 00 ff ff                          fw0.0...
  backtrace:
    [<00000000e1d62bac>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1e9/0x360

    [<000000003b4e447d>] create_units+0xc5/0x110

fw_unit_release() will be called in the error path, move fw_device_get()
before calling device_register() to keep balanced with fw_device_put() in
fw_unit_release().
