[PATCH 3.8 63/81] i7300_edac: Fix device reference count

3.8.13.20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare at suse.de>

commit 75135da0d68419ef8a925f4c1d5f63d8046e314d upstream.

pci_get_device() decrements the reference count of "from" (last
argument) so when we break off the loop successfully we have only one
device reference - and we don't know which device we have. If we want
a reference to each device, we must take them explicitly and let
the pci_get_device() walk complete to avoid duplicate references.

This is serious, as over-putting device references will cause
the device to eventually disappear. Without this fix, the kernel
crashes after a few insmod/rmmod cycles.

Tested on an Intel S7000FC4UR system with a 7300 chipset.
