Hmm, the placement of the put_device() is indeed strange, now that I
think about it. But just removing it and then having a dangling
reference also seems wrong - we do get one explicitly in
`zfcp_get_port_by_wwpn()`.

My first thought would be to move it after the `device_unregister()`
call, and before the `out:` label.
