nvmem: core: fix leaks on registration errors
commit 3360acdf839170b612f5b212539694c20e3f16d0 upstream.
Make sure to deregister and release the nvmem device and underlying
memory on registration errors.
Note that the private data must be freed using put_device() once the
struct device has been initialised.
Also note that there's a related reference leak in the deregistration
function as reported by Mika Westerberg which is being fixed separately.
Fixes: b6c217ab9be6 ("nvmem: Add backwards compatibility support for older EEPROM drivers.")
Fixes: eace75cfdcf7 ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers")
