If device_register() fails in cxl_pci_afu|adapter(), the device
is not added, device_unregister() can not be called in the error
path, otherwise it will cause a null-ptr-deref because of removing
not added device.

As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to
give
up the reference in the error path. So split device_unregister() into
device_del() and put_device(), then goes to put dev when register
fails.

for userspace access")

See reply to patch #1.

This patch puts a few things between the device_del() call and the
put_device() call, but that looks fine - we don't touch afu->dev in the
middle.

Thanks for the fix!
