[PATCH 3/4] EDAC/versalnet: use put_device() on device_register() failure

[Tarun Sahu]

When device_register() fails, calling kfree(dev) directly bypasses the
device_release() callback (versal_edac_release) and leaks the allocated
driver core structures.

Fix this by calling put_device(dev) when device_register() returns an
error, ensuring proper refcount decrement and release cleanup.
