Revert "net: mdiobus: Fix memory leak in __mdiobus_register"
commit 10eff1f5 upstream. This reverts commit ab609f25 . This patch is correct in the sense that we _should_ call device_put() in case of device_register() failure, but the problem in this code is more vast. We need to set bus->state to UNMDIOBUS_REGISTERED before calling device_register() to correctly release the device in mdiobus_free(). This patch prevents us from doing it, since in case of device_register() failure put_device() will be called 2 times and it will cause UAF or something else. Also, Reported-by: tag in revered commit was wrong, since syzbot reported different leak in same function.
