[PATCH 2/3] driver: call free_device_res() from unregister_device()

free_device_res() frees dynamically allocated resources allocated during
device lifetime. These are no longer needed when the device is
unregistered, so we can free them in unregister_device(). With this
free_device_res() might be called multiple times, so set
dev->deferred_probe_reason to NULL after freeing it to avoid double
frees.
