Explicitly free and clear misc_dev in sev_exit(). Since devm_kzalloc() associates misc_dev with the first device that gets probed, change from devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() and explicitly free memory in sev_exit() as the first device probed is not guaranteed to be the last device released. To ensure that the variable gets properly set to NULL, remove the local definition of misc_dev.
