[PATCH v2 2/6] rpmsg: glink: Fix use after free in open_ack TIMEOUT case

[Bjorn Andersson]

From: Arun Kumar Neelakantam <aneela@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Extra channel reference put when remote sending OPEN_ACK after timeout
causes use-after-free while handling next remote CLOSE command.

Remove extra reference put in timeout case to avoid use-after-free.
