When device_add(&udev->dev) failed, calling put_device() to explicitly
release udev->dev. Otherwise, it could cause double free problem.

Found by code review.

How was this change tested?

thanks,

If you're worried that the same object might be freed more than once 
(double free), how can calling put_device() help?  Won't that cause 
udev->dev to be freed a third time?

In your code review, did you check to see whether the routine which 
calls usb_new_device() will do the put_device() when an error occurs?

You added a new statement label but you did not add any jumps to that 
label.  As a result, these two lines will never be executed.
