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.

+Configuring Git
+===============
+
+This chapter describes maintainer level git configuration.
+
+Tagged branches used in pull requests (see
+Documentation/maintainer/pull-requests.rst) should be signed with the
+developers public GPG key. Signed tags can be created by passing
+``-u <key-id>`` to ``git tag``. However, since you would *usually* use the same
+key for the project, you can set it in the configuration and use the ``-s``
+flag. To set the default ``key-id`` use::
+
+ git config user.signingkey "keyname"
+
+Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand::
+
+ [user]
+ name = Jane Developer
+ email = jd@domain.org
+ signingkey = jd@domain.org
+
+You may need to tell ``git`` to use ``gpg2``::
+
+ [gpg]
+ program = /path/to/gpg2
+
+You may also like to tell ``gpg`` which ``tty`` to use (add to your shell
+rc file)::
+
+ export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
