Alex Williamson bdf2a0db17 driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe
commit bb34cb6bbd upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# dmesg | grep 01:10
 pci 0000:01:10.0: [8086:10ca] type 00 class 0x020000

 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): kobject_cleanup, parent           (null)
 kobject: '0000:01:10.0' (ffff8801d79cd0a8): calling ktype release
 kobject: '0000:01:10.0': free name

[kobject freed as expected]
