usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode() returns a reference to the role-switch which must be put by calling usb_role_switch_put(). usb_role_switch_put() calls module_put(sw->dev.parent->driver->owner), add a matching try_module_get() to usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode(), making it behave the same as the other usb_role_switch functions which return a reference. This avoids a WARN_ON being hit at kernel/module.c:1158 due to the module-refcount going below 0.
