[PATCH v2 0/2] dmaengine: idxd: Fix refcount and cleanup issues on module unload

[Yi Sun]

This patch series addresses two issues related to the device reference
counting and cleanup path in the idxd driver.

Recent changes introduced improper put_device() calls and duplicated
cleanup logic, leading to refcount underflow and potential use-after-free
during module unload.

Patch 1 removes an unnecessary call to idxd_free(), which could result in a
use-after-free when paired with asynchronous put_device().

Patch 2 refactors the cleanup path to avoid redundant put_device() calls
introduced in commit a409e919ca3. The existing idxd_unregister_devices()
already handles proper device reference release.

Both patches have been verified on hardware platform.

Both patches have been run through `checkpatch.pl`. Patch 2 gets 1 error
and 1 warning. But these appear to be limitations in the checkpatch script
itself, not reflect issues with the patches.
