Logan Gunthorpe e654dfd38c nvme: fix memory leak caused by incorrect subsystem free
When freeing the subsystem after finding another match with
__nvme_find_get_subsystem(), use put_device() instead of
__nvme_release_subsystem() which calls kfree() directly.

Per the documentation, put_device() should always be used
after device_initialization() is called. Otherwise, leaks
like the one below which was detected by kmemleak may occur.

Once the call of __nvme_release_subsystem() is removed it no
longer makes sense to keep the helper, so fold it back
into nvme_release_subsystem().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
