[PATCH v11 07/27] coresight: Take a reference on csdev

coresight_get_ref() currently pins the provider module and takes a
reference on the parent device. That does not pin the CoreSight device
itself.
A driver can still be unbound while the CoreSight device is part of an
active trace path. In that case coresight_unregister() may release the
coresight_device while the path still holds its csdev pointer.
Take a reference on &csdev->dev when grabbing a CoreSight device and drop
it in coresight_put_ref().
