[PATCH] parport: Revert "parport: fix memory leak"

[Sudip Mukherjee]

This reverts commit 23c405912b88 ("parport: fix memory leak")

par_dev->state was already being removed in parport_unregister_device().

But I am surprised at two points:
1) Why the error came while loading the gs_fpgaboot module?
	Maybe the double freeing has freed some memory which fpga was
	using.
2) Why the dmesg showed "panel: could not claim access to parport0. Aborting."?
	Because of 50566ac87065 ("parport: check exclusive access before
	register") the panel driver should not even register and it
	should have failed at parport_register_dev_model().
