[ Upstream commit 5822e8cc84ee37338ab0bdc3124f6eec04dc232d ]

Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
it need be freed when module exiting, call put_device() to give up
reference, so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the
refcount hit to 0. The vpe_device is static, so remove kfree() from
vpe_device_release().
