KASAN and KFENCE detected an user-after-free in the CXL driver. This
happens in the cxl_decoder_add() fail path. KASAN prints the following
error:

   BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in cxl_parse_cfmws (drivers/cxl/acpi.c:299)

This is happening in cxl_parse_cfmws(), where put_device() is called,
releasing cxld, which is accessed later.

Just use the local variables in the dev_err() instead of pointing to the
released memory.

Fixes: e50fe01e1f2a ("cxl/core: Drop ->platform_res attribute for root decoders")

v1 -> v2
 * Return the error (rc) instead of swalling it
v2 -> v3
 * Split the change in two patches
 * Fix the reference instead of the order
