NTB: ntb_transport: fix possible memory leak while device_register() fails



[ Upstream commit 8623ccbf ]

If device_register() returns error, the name allocated by
dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register()
says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in
the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the
name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and client_dev is freed
in ntb_transport_client_release().
