Subject: [PATCH] memory: mtk-smi: fix device leaks on common probe

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the SMI device
during common probe on late probe failure (e.g. probe deferral) and on
driver unbind.

Fixes: 47404757702e ("memory: mtk-smi: Add device link for smi-sub-common")
Fixes: 038ae37c510f ("memory: mtk-smi: add missing put_device() call in mtk_smi_device_link_common")
