[patch 05/34] cio: fix double free after failed device initialization

[Martin Schwidefsky]

From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If io_subchannel_initialize_dev fails it will release the only
reference to the ccw device therefore the caller should not
kfree this device since this is done in the release function.
