power_supply: Add power_supply_put for decrementing device reference counter
The power_supply_get_by_phandle() and power_supply_get_by_name() use function class_find_device() for obtaining the reference to power supply. Each use of class_find_device() increases the power supply's device reference counter. However the reference counter was not decreased by users of this API. Thus final device_unregister() call from power_supply_unregister() could not release the device and clean up its resources. This lead to memory leak if at least once power_supply_get_by_*() was called between registering and unregistering the power supply. Add and document new API power_supply_put() for decrementing the reference counter.
