[PATCH 2/2] firmware: arm_ffa: Fix __ffa_devices_unregister

When arm_ffa firmware driver module is unloaded or removed we call
__ffa_devices_unregister on all the devices on the ffa bus. It must
unregister all the devices instead it is currently just releasing the
devices without unregistering. That is pure wrong as when we try to
load the module back again, it will result in the kernel crash something
like below.

 register things with the same name in the same directory.
----

Fix the issue by calling device_unregister in __ffa_devices_unregister
which will also take care of calling device_release(which is mapped to
ffa_release_device)
