device_register() always calls device_initialize() so calling device_del() is safe even if device_register() fails. Implement the following advice from the comment block above device_register(): "NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized in this function instead." Keep the kfree() call in the error path since srp_release_dev() does not free the host.
