[PATCH 01/14] stm class: Fix a double free in stm_register_device()

[Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>

The put_device(&stm->dev) call will trigger stm_device_release() which
frees "stm" so the vfree(stm) on the next line is a double free.

Fixes: 389b6699a2aa ("stm class: Fix stm device initialization order")
