kref_init initializes the reference count to 1, not 0. This additional reference is never released since the conversion to reference counters. As a result, uvc_delete is not called anymore when UVC cameras are disconnected. Fix this by adding an additional kref_put in uvc_disconnect and in the probe error path. This also allows to remove the temporary additional reference in uvc_unregister_video.
