net/smc: add missing dev_put

In the infiniband part, SMC currently uses get_netdev which calls dev_hold on the returned net device. However, the SMC code never calls dev_put on that net device resulting in a wrong reference count. This patch adds a dev_put after the usage of the net device to fix the issue.
