[PATCH] octeontx2-af: Fix reference count issue in rvu_sdp_init()

pci_get_device() will decrease the reference count for the *from*
parameter. So we don't need to call put_device() to decrease the
reference. Let's remove the put_device() in the loop and only decrease
the reference count of the returned 'pdev' for the last loop because it
will not be passed to pci_get_device() as input parameter. Also add
pci_dev_put() for the error path.

you can drop the if(pdev), already checked inside pci_dev_put();
