drivers/base/memory: Fix an unlikely reference counting issue in __add_memory_block()
__add_memory_block() calls both put_device() and device_unregister() when
storing the memory block into the xarray. This is incorrect because xarray
doesn't take an additional reference and device_unregister() already calls
put_device().
Triggering the issue looks really unlikely and its only effect should be to
log a spurious warning about a ref counted issue.
