parport: fix freeing freed memory
After the reference count becomes 0 when put_device() is called, it will execute the release callback where we are freeing all the allocated memory associated with the device. So if we just continue on the error path then we are again freeing devname and trying to dereference par_dev which has already been free-ed in the release callback.
