md: fix error handling in md_alloc

Error handling in md_alloc is a mess.  Untangle it to just free the mddev
directly before add_disk is called and thus the gendisk is globally
visible.  After that clear the hold flag and let the mddev_put take care
of cleaning up the mddev through the usual mechanisms.

Fixes: 5e55e2f5 ("[PATCH] md: convert compile time warnings into runtime warnings")
Fixes: 9be68dd7 ("md: add error handling support for add_disk()")
Fixes: 7ad10691 ("md: properly unwind when failing to add the kobject in md_alloc")
