Subject: [PATCH 2/8] vfio/mdev: Avoid release parent reference during error path

During mdev parent registration in mdev_register_device(),
if parent device is duplicate, it releases the reference of existing
parent device.
This is incorrect. Existing parent device should not be touched.

Fixes: 7b96953bc640 ("vfio: Mediated device Core driver")
