Patch Review

**Good fix for the warning.** The release method is correctly wired up.

**Reordering of dmirror_allocate_chunk before cdev_device_add is a nice imp=
rovement:**

```c
/* Build a list of free ZONE_DEVICE struct pages */
ret =3D dmirror_allocate_chunk(mdevice, NULL, false);
if (ret)
    goto put_device;

ret =3D cdev_device_add(&mdevice->cdevice, &mdevice->device);
if (ret)
    goto put_device;
```

Previously, `dmirror_allocate_chunk` was called *after* `cdev_device_add`, =
meaning if allocation failed, `cdev_device_del()` was never called =E2=80=
=94 the device was added but not properly removed. The new ordering is bett=
er: allocate resources first, only then expose the device. The `put_device`=
 error path now correctly triggers `dmirror_device_release()` which calls `=
dmirror_device_remove_chunks()`, and `dmirror_device_remove_chunks()` safel=
y handles the case where chunks haven't been allocated (the `if (mdevice->d=
evmem_chunks)` guard).

**One subtle concern:** After the reorder, if `cdev_device_add()` fails, `p=
ut_device()` triggers `dmirror_device_release()` =E2=86=92 `dmirror_device_=
remove_chunks()`. The `remove_chunks` function calls `dmirror_device_evict_=
chunk()` on each chunk. Since the device was never made visible (no `cdev_d=
evice_add`), no user could have migrated pages to the device memory, so the=
 eviction should find no migrated pages and be harmless. This is safe.

**Overall:** Clean and correct. The error-handling improvement is a nice si=
de-fix.
