Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix double free in the error path of vmbus_add_channel_work()
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.
