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.

+Real-time Linux Analysis tool
+--------------------------------
+
+:Manual section: 1
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+The **rtla** is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to
+analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux
+as a black box, **rtla** leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide
+precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected
+results.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**hwnoise**
+
+ Detect and quantify hardware-related noise.
+
+**osnoise**
+
+ Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+ Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+ Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
+
+SEE ALSO
+========
+**rtla-hwnoise**\(1), **rtla-osnoise**\(1), **rtla-timerlat**\(1)
