mm/memory_hotplug.c: drop memory device reference after find_memory_block()

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 89c02e69fc ]

Right now we are using find_memory_block() to get the node id for the
pfn range to online.  We are missing to drop a reference to the memory
block device.  While the device still gets unregistered via
device_unregister(), resulting in no user visible problem, the device is
never released via device_release(), resulting in a memory leak.  Fix
that by properly using a put_device().
