lib: test_hmm: implement a device release method

This is because the test module doesn't have a device.release method. In
this case one probably isn't needed for correctness - the device structs
are in a static array so don't need freeing when the final reference goes
away.

However some device state is freed on exit, so to ensure this happens at
the right time and to silence the warning move the deinitialisation to a
release method and assign that as the device release callback. Whilst
here also fix a minor error handling bug where cdev_device_del() wasn't
being called if allocation failed.
