[PATCH] iommu/amd: Fix PCI device reference leak in PPR handling

[Ruoyu Wang]

pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() takes a reference on the returned PCI
device. iommu_call_iopf_notifier() fails to release it after either
reporting a valid PPR fault or completing a rejected request. Each
handled request therefore leaks a reference and can prevent the PCI
device from being released.

Call pci_dev_put() after the final use of the lookup reference on both
paths.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.

How do you think about to apply the attribute “__free(pci_dev_put)”
also in the implementation of the function “iommu_call_iopf_notifier”?

This was recently fixed by commit af3b69b16383.
