While device_add() will happen to catch dev_set_name() failures it is a
broken pattern to follow given that the core may try to fall back to a
different name.
Add explicit checking for dev_set_name() failures to be cleaned up by
put_device(). Skip cdev_device_add() and proceed directly to
put_device() if the name set fails.
This type of bug is easier to see if 'alloc' is split from 'add'
operations that require put_device() on failure. So cxl_memdev_alloc()
is split out as a result.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
