driver core: Fix unbalanced device reference in drivers_probe
bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released. This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices. libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.
Example:
# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 > devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# dmesg | grep 01:10
