[ Upstream commit 74be98774dfbc5b8b795db726bd772e735d2edd4 ]

KASAN + DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE reports a potential use-after-free in
cxl_decoder_release() where it goes to reference its parent, a cxl_port,
to free its id back to port->decoder_ida.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in to_cxl_port+0x18/0x90 [cxl_core]

The device core only guarantees parent lifetime until all children are
unregistered. If a child needs a parent to complete its ->release()
callback that child needs to hold a reference to extend the lifetime of
the parent.
