Subject: uwb: fix device reference leaks

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit d6124b409ca33c100170ffde51cd8dff761454a1 upstream.

This subsystem consistently fails to drop the device reference taken by
class_find_device().

Note that some of these lookup functions already take a reference to the
returned data, while others claim no reference is needed (or does not
seem need one).

Fixes: 183b9b592a62 ("uwb: add the UWB stack (core files)")
