media: v4l2-dev: fix error handling in __video_register_device()

commit 2a934fdb01db6458288fc9386d3d8ceba6dd551a upstream.

Once device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
And move callback function v4l2_device_release() and v4l2_device_get()
before put_device().

As comment of device_register() says, 'NOTE: _Never_ directly free
@dev after calling this function, even if it returned an error! Always
use put_device() to give up the reference initialized in this function
instead.'

Found by code review.
