Yi Sun ce81905bec dmaengine: idxd: Fix refcount underflow on module unload 
[ Upstream commit b7cb9a0343 ]

A recent refactor introduced a misplaced put_device() call, resulting in a
reference count underflow during module unload.

There is no need to add additional put_device() calls for idxd groups,
engines, or workqueues. Although the commit claims: "Note, this also
fixes the missing put_device() for idxd groups, engines, and wqs."

It appears no such omission actually existed. The required cleanup is
already handled by the call chain:
idxd_unregister_devices() -> device_unregister() -> put_device()

Extend idxd_cleanup() to handle the remaining necessary cleanup and
remove idxd_cleanup_internals(), which duplicates deallocation logic
for idxd, engines, groups, and workqueues. Memory management is also
properly handled through the Linux device model.

Fixes: a409e919ca ("dmaengine: idxd: Refactor remove call with idxd_cleanup() helper")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
