vfio_ap_matrix_dev_release is shadowing the global matrix_dev with a NULL
pointer. Driver data for the matrix device is never set and so
dev_get_drvdata() always returns NULL. When release is called we end up
not freeing matrix_dev. The fix is to remove the shadow variable and get
the correct pointer from the device using container_of. We'll also NULL
the global to prevent any future use.

I suppose if we're not going to assume that the release is being
called to free the global matrix_dev, then if you are going to
retrieve it using container_of(), then maybe we should verify
the retrieved pointer is the same as the global matrix_dev?

That seems like overkill to me

After thinking about it, it's probably more than overkill as I
assume the container_of() function would fail if dev was
not contained in matrix_mdev:

I'm not sure nulling the global here buys us anything (especially after
the kfree()). But it does not hurt either, so I'm fine with it. Style
wise I think vfio_ap_matrix_dev_destroy() is a better place for the
nulling IMHO, as it is dealing with module global state.
