IB/core: Fix sysfs registration error flow
The kernel commit cited below restructured ib device management
so that the device kobject is initialized in ib_alloc_device.
As part of the restructuring, the kobject is now initialized in
procedure ib_alloc_device, and is later added to the device hierarchy
in the ib_register_device call stack, in procedure
ib_device_register_sysfs (which calls device_add).
However, in the ib_device_register_sysfs error flow, if an error
occurs following the call to device_add, the cleanup procedure
device_unregister is called. This call results in the device object
being deleted -- which results in various use-after-free crashes.
The correct cleanup call is device_del -- which undoes device_add
without deleting the device object.
The device object will then (correctly) be deleted in the
ib_register_device caller's error cleanup flow, when the caller invokes
ib_dealloc_device.
