drivers: base: remove improper get/put in add_memory_section()
The path through add_memory_section() when the memory block already exists uses flawed refcounting logic. A get_device() is done on a memory block using a pointer that might not be valid as we dropped our previous reference and didn't obtain a new reference in the proper way. Lets stop pretending and just remove the get/put. The mem_sysfs_mutex, which we hold over the entire init loop now, will prevent the memory blocks from disappearing from under us.
