From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5822e8cc84ee37338ab0bdc3124f6eec04dc232d ] Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, it need be freed when module exiting, call put_device() to give up reference, so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0. The vpe_device is static, so remove kfree() from vpe_device_release().
