Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the genpool
platform device in of_gen_pool_get() before returning the pool.
Note that holding a reference to a device does typically not prevent its
devres managed resources from being released so there is no point in
keeping the reference.
Fixes: 9375db07adea ("genalloc: add devres support, allow to find a managed pool by device")
