ACPI: processor_idle: Fix memory leak in acpi_processor_power_exit()
[ Upstream commit e18afcb7b2a12b635ac10081f943fcf84ddacc51 ]
After unregistering the CPU idle device, the memory associated with
it is not freed, leading to a memory leak:

Fix this by freeing the CPU idle device after unregistering it.
