[PATCH] drm/mediatek: fix device use-after-free on unbind

[Johan Hovold]

A recent change fixed device reference leaks when looking up drm
platform device driver data during bind() but failed to remove a partial
fix which had been added by commit 80805b62ea5b ("drm/mediatek: Fix
kobject put for component sub-drivers").

This results in a reference imbalance on component bind() failures and
on unbind() which could lead to a user-after-free.

Make sure to only drop the references after retrieving the driver data
by effectively reverting the previous partial fix.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.

Fixes: 1f403699c40f ("drm/mediatek: Fix device/node reference count leaks in mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv")
