drivers/char/ppdev.c: put gotten port value

parport_find_number() calls parport_get_port() on its result, so there
should be a corresponding call to parport_put_port() before dropping the
reference.  Similar code is found in the function register_device() in the
same file.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

  expression ra,rr;
  statement S1,S2;

  }
