staging: unisys: visornic: prevent erroneous kfree of devdata pointer
A struct visornic_devdata for each visornic device is actually allocated as part of alloc_etherdev(), here in visornic_probe(): netdev = alloc_etherdev(sizeof(struct visornic_devdata)); But code in devdata_release() was treating devdata as a pointer that needed to be kfree()d! This was causing all sorts of weird behavior after doing an rmmod of visornic, both because free_netdev() was actually freeing the memory used for devdata, and because devdata wasn't pointing to dynamically-allocated memory in the first place. The kfree(devdata) and the kref that tracked devdata's usage have been appropriately deleted.
