[PATCH 4/5] perf: arm: pmu: fix reference leak on failed device registration

[Vastargazing <vebohr@gmail.com>]

When platform_device_register() fails in arm_acpi_register_pmu_device(),
the embedded struct device has already been initialized by
device_initialize() inside platform_device_register(). The error path
unregisters the GSI interrupt but returns without dropping the device
reference:

  arm_acpi_register_pmu_device()
    -> platform_device_register(pdev)
       -> device_initialize(&pdev->dev)   /* kref = 1 */
       -> platform_device_add(pdev)       /* fails */
    <- acpi_unregister_gsi() called, but kref still 1

Per platform_device_register() kernel-doc:

  NOTE: _Never_ directly free @pdev after calling this function, even if
  it returned an error! Always use platform_device_put() to give up the
  reference initialised in this function instead.

Fix this by calling platform_device_put() in the error branch before
unregistering the GSI.
