Subject: [PATCH RESEND v3 2/2] dmaengine: idxd: Fix refcount underflow on module unload

A recent refactor introduced a misplaced put_device() call, resulting in a
reference count underflow during module unload.

There is no need to add additional put_device() calls for idxd groups,
engines, or workqueues. Although the commit claims: "Note, this also
fixes the missing put_device() for idxd groups, engines, and wqs."

It appears no such omission actually existed. The required cleanup is
already handled by the call chain:
idxd_unregister_devices() -> device_unregister() -> put_device()

Extend idxd_cleanup() to handle the remaining necessary cleanup and
remove idxd_cleanup_internals(), which duplicates deallocation logic
for idxd, engines, groups, and workqueues. Memory management is also
properly handled through the Linux device model.

Fixes: a409e919ca32 ("dmaengine: idxd: Refactor remove call with idxd_cleanup() helper")
