Yang Yingliang 8384c4a7bc hwmon: Fix possible memleak in __hwmon_device_register() 
[ Upstream commit ada61aa0b1 ]

I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

unreferenced object 0xffff888102740438 (size 8):
  comm "27", pid 859, jiffies 4295031351 (age 143.992s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    68 77 6d 6f 6e 30 00 00                          hwmon0..
  backtrace:

    [<000000005bf2a8e3>] __device_attach+0x267/0x410

When device_register() returns an error, the name allocated in
dev_set_name() will be leaked, the put_device() should be used
instead of calling hwmon_dev_release() to give up the device
reference, then the name will be freed in kobject_cleanup().

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
