[PATCH] mux: core: fix double get_device()

[Peter Rosin]

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>

class_find_device already does a get_device on the returned device.
So the device returned by of_find_mux_chip_by_node is already referenced
and we should not reference it again (and unref it on error).

Hi Greg,

Here is a fix for 4.15, and it should perhaps also go to
stable?

It's been in -next for a couple of weeks w/o complaints.

Cheers,
Peter
