Driver core: Cleanup get_device_parent() in device_add() and device_move()
Make setup_parent() void as get_device_parent() will always return
either a valid kobject or NULL.
Introduce cleanup_glue_dir() to drop reference grabbed on "glue"

and device_add() on errors.
This should fix the refcounting problem reported in
