Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix double free in the error path of vmbus_add_channel_work()
Git-commit: f92a4b50f0bd7fd52391dc4bb9a309085d278f91
References: git-fixes

In the error path of vmbus_device_register(), device_unregister()
is called, which calls vmbus_device_release().  The latter frees
the struct hv_device that was passed in to vmbus_device_register().
So remove the kfree() in vmbus_add_channel_work() to avoid a double
free.
