chardev: Fix potential memory leak when cdev_add() failed
Some init function of cdev(like comedi) will call kobject_set_name()
before cdev_add(), but won't free the cdev.kobj.name or put the ref cnt
of cdev.kobj when cdev_add() failed. As the result, cdev.kobj.name will
be leaked.
Free the name of kobject in cdev_add() fail path to prevent memleak. With
this fix, the callers don't need to care about freeing the name of
kobject if cdev_add() fails.
