rust: drm: fix unsound initialization in drm::Device::new

If pinned initialization of drm::Device::Data fails, it calls
drm::Device::release via drm_dev_put. This materializes a reference to
&drm::Device, but it's not fully constructed yet, because initializing
`data` failed. It should not be dropped either. Instead, if pinned
initialization fails, make sure drm::Device::release isn't called.
