netpoll: Fix extra refcount release in netpoll_cleanup()

netpoll_setup() does a dev_hold() on np->dev, the netpoll device.  If it
fails, it correctly does a dev_put() but leaves np->dev set.  If we call
netpoll_cleanup() after the failure, np->dev is still set so we do another
dev_put(), which decrements the refcount an extra time.

It's questionable to call netpoll_cleanup() after netpoll_setup() fails,
but it can be difficult to find the problem, and we can easily avoid it in
this case.  The extra decrements can lead to hangs like this:

  unregister_netdevice: waiting for bond0 to become free. Usage count = -3

Set and clear np->dev at the points where we dev_hold() and dev_put() the
device.
