A recent refactor introduced a misplaced put_device() call, resulting in a
reference count underflow during module unload.
There is no need to add additional put_device() calls for idxd groups,
engines, or workqueues. Although the commit claims: "Note, this also
fixes the missing put_device() for idxd groups, engines, and wqs."
It appears no such omission actually existed. The required cleanup is
already handled by the call chain:
idxd_unregister_devices() -> device_unregister() -> put_device()
Extend idxd_cleanup() to handle the remaining necessary cleanup and
remove idxd_cleanup_internals(), which duplicates deallocation logic
for idxd, engines, groups, and workqueues. Memory management is also
properly handled through the Linux device model.
Fixes: a409e919ca ("dmaengine: idxd: Refactor remove call with idxd_cleanup() helper")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
