gpio: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiochip_add_data_with_key()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiochip_add_data_with_key()
Since commit aab5c6f20023 ("gpio: set device type for GPIO chips"),
`gdev->dev.release` is unset. As a result, the reference count to
`gdev->dev` isn't dropped on the error handling paths.
Drop the reference on errors.
Also reorder the instructions to make the error handling simpler.
Now gpiochip_add_data_with_key() roughly looks like:
>>> Some memory allocation. Go to ERR ZONE 1 on errors.
>>> device_initialize().
gpiodev_release() takes over the responsibility for freeing the
resources of `gdev->dev`. The subsequent error handling paths
shouldn't go through ERR ZONE 1 again which leads to double free.
>>> Some initialization mainly on `gdev`.
>>> The rest of initialization. Go to ERR ZONE 2 on errors.
>>> Chip registration success and exit.
>>> ERR ZONE 2. gpio_device_put() and exit.
>>> ERR ZONE 1.Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
