Ma Ke b4ba1c81de media: lirc: Fix error handling in lirc_register()
commit 4f4098c57e139ad972154077fb45c3e3141555dd upstream.

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.

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.
