Right now we are using find_memory_block() to get the node id for the
pfn range to online. We are missing to drop a reference to the memory
block device. While the device still gets unregistered via
device_unregister(), resulting in no user visible problem, the device is
never released via device_release(), resulting in a memory leak. Fix
that by properly using a put_device().

Good catch it is.
