Fedor Pchelkin 6460c0e359 nvme-apple: drop invalid put of admin queue reference count
commit ba9d308ccd upstream.

Commit 03b3bcd319 ("nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime") moved the
admin queue reference ->put call into nvme_free_ctrl() - a controller
device release callback performed for every nvme driver doing
nvme_init_ctrl().

nvme-apple sets refcount of the admin queue to 1 at allocation during the
probe function and then puts it twice now:

nvme_free_ctrl()
  blk_put_queue(ctrl->admin_q) // #1
  ->free_ctrl()
    apple_nvme_free_ctrl()
      blk_put_queue(anv->ctrl.admin_q) // #2

Note that there is a commit 941f7298c7 ("nvme-apple: remove an extra
queue reference") which intended to drop taking an extra admin queue
reference.  Looks like at that moment it accidentally fixed a refcount
leak, which existed since the driver's introduction.  There were two ->get
calls at driver's probe function and a single ->put inside
apple_nvme_free_ctrl().

However now after commit 03b3bcd319 ("nvme: fix admin request_queue
lifetime") the refcount is imbalanced again.  Fix it by removing extra
->put call from apple_nvme_free_ctrl().  anv->dev and ctrl->dev point to
the same device, so use ctrl->dev directly for simplification.  Compile
tested only.
