x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()grafted
The local "root" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned up after the search is complete. Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the temporary pointer goes out of scope. Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting. Finally, drop the redundant "root = NULL" before the second search loop. The pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its "from" argument, so the first loop can only fall through with "root" already NULL.

+Description: Display fw status registers content
+
+ The ME FW writes its status information into fw status
+ registers for BIOS and OS to monitor fw health.
+
+ The register contains running state, power management
+ state, error codes, and others. The way the registers
+ are decoded depends on PCH or SoC generation.
+ Also number of registers varies between 1 and 6
+ depending on generation.
