Subject: x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()

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.

+=============================================
+Working with the kernel development community
+=============================================
+
+So you want to be a Linux kernel developer?  Welcome!  While there is a lot
+to be learned about the kernel in a technical sense, it is also important
+to learn about how our community works.  Reading these documents will make
+it much easier for you to get your changes merged with a minimum of
+trouble.
+
+An introduction to how kernel development works
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Read these documents first: an understanding of the material here will ease
+your entry into the kernel community.

+Tools and technical guides for kernel developers
+------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a collection of material that kernel developers should be familiar
+with.

+
+Policy guides and developer statements
+--------------------------------------
+
+These are the rules that we try to live by in the kernel community (and
+beyond).

+Dealing with bugs
+-----------------
+
+Bugs are a fact of life; it is important that we handle them properly. The
+documents below provide general advice about debugging and describe our
+policies around the handling of a couple of special classes of bugs:
+regressions and security problems.
