PATCH v3 2/5 st: clean up dev cleanup in st_probe

From: Jeff Mahoney <[email protected]>

st_probe leaves a cdev pointer hanging around that is compared during the error path and freed later. There's no need for the pointer to hang around at all. So we free it immediately and simplify the error handling.
