The change referenced by the Fixes tag reverted a previous fix because
that fix added incorrect cleanup for the platform_device_register()
failure path.

However, reverting the whole change also removed the cleanup for a later
failure path. If platform_device_register() succeeds but device_add_disk()
fails, the current floppy platform device has already been registered and
registered[drive] has been set.

The common out_remove_drives path uses while (drive--), so it starts from
the previous drive and does not unregister the current one. As a result,
the platform device registered for the failing drive is leaked.

Unregister the current platform device directly on the device_add_disk()
failure path, where platform_device_register() is known to have
succeeded. Leave the platform_device_register() failure path unchanged.
