Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] pci: endpoint: Fix kernel panic after put_device()

From: Rolf Evers-Fischer <rolf.evers.fischer@...iv.com>

'put_device()' calls the relase function 'pci_epf_dev_release()',
which already frees 'epf->name' and 'epf'.

Therefore we must not free them again after 'put_device()'.
