[PATCH v4 7/8] reset: core: add get_device()/put_device on rcdev

From: Clément Léger <clement.leger at bootlin.com>

Since the rcdev structure is allocated by the reset controller drivers
themselves, they need to exists as long as there is a consumer. A call to
module_get() is already existing but that does not work when using
device-tree overlays. In order to guarantee that the underlying reset
controller device does not vanish while using it, add a get_device() call
when retrieving a reset control from a reset controller device and a
put_device() when releasing that control.
