The reference count of the device incremented in device_initialize() is
not decremented when device_add() fails. Add a put_device() call before
returning from the function to decrement reference count for cleanup.
Or it could cause memory leak.

As comment of device_add() says, if device_add() succeeds, you should
call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has
not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count.

Found by code review.
