gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link. Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links") Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v2.6.32 Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
