[ Upstream commit a8aec14230322ed8f1e8042b6d656c1631d41163 ]
Dingisoul with KASAN reports a use after free if device_add() fails in
nd_async_device_register().
Commit b6eae0f61db2 ("libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while
scheduling async init") correctly added a reference on the parent device
to be held until asynchronous initialization was complete. However, if
device_add() results in an allocation failure the ref count of the
device drops to 0 prior to the parent pointer being accessed. Thus
resulting in use after free.
The bug bot AI correctly identified the fix. Save a reference to the
parent pointer to be used to drop the parent reference regardless of the
outcome of device_add().
