CVE-2022-50868
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: amd - Fix PCI device refcount leak
for_each_pci_dev() is implemented by pci_get_device(). The comment of
pci_get_device() says that it will increase the reference count for the
returned pci_dev and also decrease the reference count for the input
pci_dev @from if it is not NULL.
If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. Add the missing
pci_dev_put() for the normal and error path.
