workqueue: use put_device() instead of kfree()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 537f4146c53c95aac977852b371bafb9c6755ee1 ]

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized in this function instead.
