[PATCH] PCI: switchtec: Fix PCI device reference leak on probe failure

[PATCH] PCI: switchtec: Fix PCI device reference leak on probe failure

[Yige Jiang]

stdev_create() takes a pci_dev reference for stdev->pdev. When a
later step of switchtec_pci_probe() fails, err_put drops stdev->dev
but omits the PCI device reference. stdev_release() only frees
stdev, so the PCI device remains pinned after the failed probe.

Return the PCI device reference before putting stdev->dev, matching
the existing cleanup in stdev_create() and switchtec_pci_remove().
