perf: arm_cspmu: fix error handling in arm_cspmu_impl_unregister()

driver_find_device() calls get_device() to increment the reference
count once a matching device is found. device_release_driver()
releases the driver, but it does not decrease the reference count that
was incremented by driver_find_device(). At the end of the loop, there
is no put_device() to balance the reference count. To avoid reference
count leakage, add put_device() to decrease the reference count.

Found by code review.
