Subject: [PATCH] pcmcia: cs: fix possible hung task and memory leak pccardd()
Date:   Sat, 12 Nov 2022 17:25:41 +0800

If device_register() returns error in pccardd(), it leads two issues:

1. The socket_released has never been completed, it will block
   pcmcia_unregister_socket(), because of waiting for completion
   of socket_released.
2. The device name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.

Fix this two issues by calling put_device() when device_register() fails.
socket_released can be completed in pcmcia_release_socket(), the name can
be freed in kobject_cleanup().
