The function add_mdev_supported_type() was renamed mdev_type_add() in
commit da44c340c4fe ("vfio/mdev: simplify mdev_type handling").
Update the comment accordingly.

Note that just as mdev_type_release() now states that its put pairs
with the get in mdev_type_add(), mdev_type_add() already stated that
its get pairs with the put in mdev_type_release().
