Subject: [PATCH 08/23] PNPACPI: Fix device ref leaking in acpi_pnp_match

During testing pci root bus removal, found some root bus bridge is not freed.

If booting with pnpacpi=off, those hostbridge could be freed without problem.

It turns out that some devices reference are not released during acpi_pnp_match.

that match should not hold one device ref during every calling.

Add put_device calling before returning.
