dev_set_name() allocates memory for name, it need be freed
when device_add() fails, call put_device() to give up the
reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that it can
be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0.
Fault injection test can trigger this:
unreferenced object 0xffff8e8340a7b4c0 (size 32):
