ide: fix refcounting in device drivers
During host driver module removal del_gendisk() results in a final
put on drive->gendev and freeing the drive by drive_release_dev().
Convert device drivers from using struct kref to use struct device
so device driver's object holds reference on ->gendev and prevents
drive from prematurely going away.
Also fix ->remove methods to not erroneously drop reference on a
host driver by using only put_device() instead of ide*_put().
