pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()
[ Upstream commit 5038a66dad0199de60e5671603ea6623eb9e5c79 ]
The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init().
It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(),
so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free.
The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.
