rtl2832u_tuner_attach() registers an rtl2832_sdr platform device, but
does not unregister it if no driver is bound. It also does not take a
reference on the bound driver module.

Unregister the platform device when no driver is bound or the module
reference cannot be acquired. Drop the module reference in
rtl28xxu_tuner_detach() before unregistering the device.

The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.

v2:
  - Add the missing try_module_get()/module_put() pair for the SDR driver
    module, as suggested by Hans Verkuil.

How do you think about to avoid a bit of duplicate source code
by merging two condition checks into a disjunction?

Markus
