comedi_open() invokes comedi_dev_get_from_minor(), which returns a
reference of the COMEDI device to "dev" with increased refcount.
When comedi_open() returns, "dev" becomes invalid, so the refcount
should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
comedi_open(). When "cfp" allocation is failed, the refcnt increased by
comedi_dev_get_from_minor() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling comedi_dev_put() on this error path when "cfp"
allocation is failed.
