llc: fix netdevice reference leaks in llc_ui_bind()

commit 764f4eb6 upstream.

Whenever llc_ui_bind() and/or llc_ui_autobind()
took a reference on a netdevice but subsequently fail,
they must properly release their reference
or risk the infamous message from unregister_netdevice()
at device dismantle.

unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 3

Fixes: 1da177e4
