Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix reference count leak in hswep_has_limit_sbox() pci_get_device() will increase the reference count for the returned dev. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. Since dev is only used in pci_read_config_dword(), lets add pci_dev_put() right after it.
