[PATCH 5.17 507/772] drivers/base/memory: fix an unlikely reference counting issue in __add_memory_block()

[ Upstream commit f47f758cff59c68015d6b9b9c077110df7c2c828 ]

__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when
storing the memory block into the xarray. This is incorrect because
xarray doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister()
already calls put_device().

Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be
to log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.
