Kmemleak reports issues for serial8250 ports after the hardware specific
driver takes over on boot as noted by Tomi.
The kerneldoc for device_initialize() says we must call device_put()
after calling device_initialize(). We are calling device_put() on the
error path, but are missing it from the device remove path. This causes
release() to never get called for the devices on remove.
Let's add the missing put_device() calls for both serial ctrl and
port devices.
