Wang Liang 38c7bb10aa pps: fix warning in pps_register_cdev when register device fail
[ Upstream commit b0531cdba5029f897da5156815e3bdafe1e9b88d ]

Similar to previous commit 2a934fdb01db ("media: v4l2-dev: fix error
handling in __video_register_device()"), the release hook should be set
before device_register(). Otherwise, when device_register() return error
and put_device() try to callback the release function, the below warning
may happen.

Before commit c79a39dc8d06 ("pps: Fix a use-after-free"),
pps_register_cdev() call device_create() to create pps->dev, which will
init dev->release to device_create_release(). Now the comment is outdated,
just remove it.

Thanks for the reminder from Calvin Owens, 'kfree_pps' should be removed
in pps_register_source() to avoid a double free in the failure case.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
