Once device_add() failed, we should call only put_device() to decrement reference count for cleanup. We should not call device_del() before put_device().

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'.
