[ Upstream commit e8d7a90c08ce963c592fb49845f2ccc606a2ac21 ]

In pmu_dev_alloc(), when dev_set_name() failed, it will goto free_dev
and call put_device(pmu->dev) to release it.
However pmu->dev->release is assigned after this, which makes warning
and memleak.
Call dev_set_name() after pmu->dev->release = pmu_dev_release to fix it.

Device '(null)' does not have a release() function...
