Trace back the for_each_pci_dev()
for_each_pci_dev
-> pci_get_device
-> pci_get_subsys
-> pci_get_dev_by_id
-> bus_find_device
-> get_device()
The real question is how many places do we call for_each_pci_dev()
without a put. It seems like pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() doesn't even
get it right since it should include a put of the non-matched devices.
Thanks,
