It pairs here with the pci remove. The driver release callback (being
the kref_put release) can happen later. That was my other choice, but I
went with doing it here because this we have the pci device here and the
synergy with the get+test followed set. My thinking was that if we tried
to dig out the pci device in a later release function (or pci callback
after remove), that should be clearly erroneous.
