While testing rpmsg-char interface it was noticed that duplicate sysfs entries are getting created and below warning is noticed.
Reason for this is that we are leaking rpmsg device pointer, setting it null without actually unregistering device. Any further attempts to unregister fail because rpdev is NULL, resulting in a leak.
Fix this by unregistering rpmsg device before removing its reference from rpmsg channel.
