Free struct device in fw_dev_release()

The f_dev in _request_firmware() is allocated via the fw_setup_device()
and fw_register_device() calls and its class set to firmware_class (the
class release function is fw_dev_release).

Commit 6acf70f0 replaced the kfree(dev) in fw_dev_release() with a
put_device() call but my understanding is that the release function is
called via put_device -> kobject_put -> kref_put -> koject_release etc.
and it should call kfree since it's the last to see this device
structure alive.

Because of that, the _request_firmware() function on its -ENOENT error
path only calls device_unregister(f_dev) which would eventually call
fw_dev_release() but there is no kfree (the subsequent put_device call
would just make the kref negative).
