pps: fix warning in pps_register_cdev when register device fail
Similar to previous commit 2a934fdb01db ("media: v4l2-dev: fix error
handling in __video_register_device()"), the release hook should be set
before device_register(). Otherwise, when device_register() return error
and put_device() try to callback the release function, the below warning
may happen.

Before commit c79a39dc8d06 ("pps: Fix a use-after-free"),
pps_register_cdev() call device_create() to create pps->dev, which will
init dev->release to device_create_release(). Now the comment is outdated,
just remove it.
Thanks for the reminder from Calvin Owens, 'kfree_pps' should be removed
in pps_register_source() to avoid a double free in the failure case.
