most: usb: fix double free on late probe failure

The MOST subsystem has a non-standard registration function which frees
the interface on registration failures and on deregistration.

This unsurprisingly leads to bugs in the MOST drivers, and a couple of
recent changes turned a reference underflow and use-after-free in the
USB driver into several double free and a use-after-free on late probe
failures.

Fixes: 723de0f9171e ("staging: most: remove device from interface structure")
Fixes: 4b1270902609 ("most: usb: Fix use-after-free in hdm_disconnect")
Fixes: a8cc9e5fcb0e ("most: usb: hdm_probe: Fix calling put_device() before device initialization")
