_scsih_pcie_device_remove_by_handle() invokes __mpt3sas_get_pdev_by_handle(), which returns a reference of the specified _pcie_device object to "pcie_device" with increased refcnt. When _scsih_pcie_device_remove_by_handle() returns, local variable "pcie_device" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one normal path of _scsih_pcie_device_remove_by_handle(). When remove pcie device, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by __mpt3sas_get_pdev_by_handle(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling pcie_device_put() before _scsih_pcie_device_remove_by_handle() returns.
