Subject: [PATCH] Fix failure exits in asus-laptop

Fallout from f8a7c6fe14f556ca8eeddce258cb21392d0c3a2f.  However, looking
at it shows that checks done in ASUS_LED_UNREGISTER() can't trigger
at all (we never get to asus_led_exit() if registration fails) and
if that registration fails, we actually leak stuff.  IOW, it's worse
than just replacing class_dev with dev in there - the tests themselves
had been papering over the lousy cleanup logics.
