Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] devlink: Decrease refcnt of parent rate object on leaf destroy

From: Dmytro Linkin <dlinkin@...dia.com>

Port functions, like SFs, can be deleted by the user when its leaf rate
object has parent node. In such case node refcnt won't be decreased
which blocks the node from deletion later.
Do simple refcnt decrease, since driver in cleanup stage. This:
1) assumes that driver took proper internal parent unset action;
2) allows to avoid nested callbacks call and deadlock.

Fixes: d75559845078 ("devlink: Allow setting parent node of rate objects")
