Subject: [PATCH 05/38] sparc: kernel: add missing put_device call

This is required so that we give up the last reference to the device.
The kfree() has been removed because put_device will set the underlying kref's
reference count to zero and hence vio_dev_release will get called resulting in
kfreeing the structure.
