dmaengine: lpc18xx-dmamux: fix device leak on route allocation

commit d4d63059dee7e7cae0c4d9a532ed558bc90efb55 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA mux
platform device during route allocation.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.
