Make use of devm_counter_register.
Then we can remove redundant unregistration API
usage to make code simpler.

The orders of (de)initialization should be kept symmetrical.
In this case, now that counter_unregister() will be called via devm,
it will be executed after ftm_quaddec_remove()

This introduces a race condition where the ftm-quaddec is disabled but
the counter entry itself is not.

Somebody else (William?) should confirm this.
