If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() need
be freed. As comment of device_add() says, it should use put_device() to
decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device, then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().

Fixes: ee959b00c335 ("SCSI: convert struct class_device to struct device")

Changes in v2:
- Move the new put_device() call from under if to under err_out label.

Please perform the error recovery actions in the opposite order of the 
corresponding actions - this means swapping the list_del() and 
put_device() calls.

Thanks,

Bart.
