usb: gadget: f_hid: fix device reference leak in hidg_alloc()

hidg_alloc() initializes hidg->dev with device_initialize() before
calling dev_set_name(). If dev_set_name() fails, the function currently
jumps to err_unlock and returns without calling put_device().

This leaves the device reference unbalanced and prevents hidg_release()
from being called. Calling put_device() here is also safe, since
hidg_release() only frees resources owned by hidg.

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

Route the dev_set_name() failure path through err_put_device so the
device reference is dropped properly.
