[PATCH 2/3] parport: fix memory leak

From: Sudip Mukherjee
Date: Mon Jun 15 2015 - 10:37:24 EST


After the reference count becomes 0 when put_device() is called, it will
execute the release callback where we are freeing all the allocated
memory associated with the device. We missed freeing par_dev->state.
