sunvdc: Balance device refcount in vdc_port_mpgroup_check

commit 63ce53724637e2e7ba51fe3a4f78351715049905 upstream.

Using device_find_child() to locate a probed virtual-device-port node
causes a device refcount imbalance, as device_find_child() internally
calls get_device() to increment the device’s reference count before
returning its pointer. vdc_port_mpgroup_check() directly returns true
upon finding a matching device without releasing the reference via
put_device(). We should call put_device() to decrement refcount.

As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop
the reference with put_device() after use'.
