llc_sap_add_socket() takes a SAP reference for each socket added to a SAP,
and llc_sap_remove_socket() releases it. llc_create_incoming_sock() takes
an additional SAP reference after adding the child socket.

This extra reference was balanced by an explicit llc_sap_put() in
llc_ui_release() until commit 3100aa9d74db ("llc: fix SAP reference
counting w.r.t. socket handling") removed that put. The corresponding hold
in the accept path was left behind.

When such a child socket is removed, only the reference taken by
llc_sap_add_socket() is released. The extra reference keeps the SAP alive
after its last socket is removed. Remove the obsolete hold.
