parisc: led: fix reference leak on failed device registration

When platform_device_register() fails in startup_leds(), the embedded
struct device in platform_leds has already been initialized by
device_initialize(), but the failure path only reports the error and
does not drop the device reference for the current platform device:

  startup_leds()
    -> platform_device_register(&platform_leds)
       -> device_initialize(&platform_leds.dev)
       -> setup_pdev_dma_masks(&platform_leds)
       -> platform_device_add(&platform_leds)

This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails.
Fix this by calling platform_device_put() after reporting the error.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
