arm_cspmu_impl_unregister() utilizes driver_find_device() to locate
matching devices. driver_find_device() increments the ref count of the
found device by calling get_device(), but arm_cspmu_impl_unregister()
fails to call put_device() to decrement the reference count after
processing each device. This results in a reference count leak of the
device objects, which prevents devices from being properly released
and causes a memory leak. Fix the leak by adding put_device() after
device_release_driver() in the while loop.
