net: hns: fix possible memory leak in hnae_ae_register()

Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails,

but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name

allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling

put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function

kobject_cleanup().

unreferenced object 0xffff00c01aba2100 (size 128):

comm "systemd-udevd", pid 1259, jiffies 4294903284 (age 294.152s)
