5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 63ce53724637e2e7ba51fe3a4f78351715049905 upstream.
Using device_find_child() to locate a probed virtual-device-port node causes a device refcount imbalance, as device_find_child() internally calls get_device() to increment the device’s reference count before returning its pointer. vdc_port_mpgroup_check() directly returns true upon finding a matching device without releasing the reference via put_device(). We should call put_device() to decrement refcount.
As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use'.
Found by code review.
