devres: Fix memory leakage caused by driver API devm_free_percpu()
[ Upstream commit bd50a974097bb82d52a458bd3ee39fb723129a0c ]
It will cause memory leakage when use driver API devm_free_percpu()
to free memory allocated by devm_alloc_percpu(), fixed by using
devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within devm_free_percpu().
