[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 190/371] vfio/mdev: Avoid release parent reference during error path

[Sasha Levin]

From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 60e7f2c3fe9919cee9534b422865eed49f4efb15 ]

During mdev parent registration in mdev_register_device(),
if parent device is duplicate, it releases the reference of existing
parent device.
This is incorrect. Existing parent device should not be touched.
