drm: sti: fix device leaks at component probe

Make sure to drop the references taken to the vtg devices by
of_find_device_by_node() when looking up their driver data during
component probe.

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