Joe Hattori e4beb8aa35 powercap: call put_device() on an error path in powercap_register_control_type()
[ Upstream commit 93c66fbc280747ea700bd6199633d661e3c819b3 ]

powercap_register_control_type() calls device_register(), but does not
release the refcount of the device when it fails.

Call put_device() before returning an error to balance the refcount.

Since the kfree(control_type) will be done by powercap_release(), remove
the lines in powercap_register_control_type() before returning the error.

This bug was found by an experimental verifier that I am developing.

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.
