net: gianfar: fix device leak when querying time stamp info

Browse source

commit da717540ac upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference to the ptp device taken by
of_find_device_by_node() when querying the time stamping capabilities.

Note that holding a reference to the ptp device does not prevent its
driver data from going away.
