cxl: Fix unbalanced pci_dev_get in cxl_probe

Currently the first thing we do in cxl_probe is to grab a reference
on the pci device. Later on, we call device_register on our adapter.
In our remove path, we call device_unregister, but we never call
pci_dev_put. We therefore leak the device every time we do a
reflash.

device_register/unregister is sufficient to hold the reference.
Therefore, drop the call to pci_dev_get.

Here's why this is safe.
The proposed cxl_probe(pdev) calls cxl_adapter_init:
    a) init calls cxl_adapter_alloc, which creates a struct cxl,
       conventionally called adapter. This struct contains a
       device entry, adapter->dev.

    b) init calls cxl_configure_adapter, where we set
       adapter->dev.parent = &dev->dev (here dev is the pci dev)

So at this point, the cxl adapter's device's parent is the PCI
device that I want to be refcounted properly.

    c) init calls cxl_register_adapter
       *) cxl_register_adapter calls device_register(&adapter->dev)

So now we're in device_register, where dev is the adapter device, and
we want to know if the PCI device is safe after we return.

device_register(&adapter->dev) calls device_initialize() and then
device_add().

device_add() does a get_device(). device_add() also explicitly grabs
the device's parent, and calls get_device() on it:

         parent = get_device(dev->parent);

So therefore, device_register() takes a lock on the parent PCI dev,
which is what pci_dev_get() was guarding. pci_dev_get() can therefore
be safely removed.
