Subject: backlight: core: Replace kfree with put_device

backlight: core: Replace kfree with put_device

As per the comments on device_register, we shouldn't call kfree()
right after a device_register() failure. Instead call put_device(),
which in turn will call bl_device_release resulting in a kfree to the
full structure.
