Subject: dm table: fix missing dm_put_target_type() in dm_table_add_target()

From: tang.junhui <tang.junhui@zte.com.cn>

commit dafa724bf582181d9a7d54f5cb4ca0bf8ef29269 upstream.

dm_get_target_type() was previously called so any error returned from
dm_table_add_target() must first call dm_put_target_type().  Otherwise
the DM target module's reference count will leak and the associated
kernel module will be unable to be removed.

Also, leverage the fact that r is already -EINVAL and remove an extra
newline.

Fixes: cc6cbe1 ("dm table: add always writeable feature")
Fixes: 3791e2f ("dm table: add singleton feature")
