5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ma Ke make24@iscas.ac.cn
[ Upstream commit 4f4098c57e139ad972154077fb45c3e3141555dd ]
When cdev_device_add() failed, calling put_device() to explicitly release dev->lirc_dev. Otherwise, it could cause the fault of the reference count.
Found by code review.
