So we don't need to call put_device() to decrease the reference. Let's remove the put_device() in the loop and only decrease the reference count of the returned 'pdev' for the last loop because it will not be passed to pci_get_device() as input parameter. We don't need to check if 'pdev' is NULL because it is already checked inside pci_dev_put(). Also add pci_dev_put() for the error path.
