i3c: master: Fix info leak and UAF in device unregister path

i3c_master_unregister_i3c_devs() clears i3cdev->dev->desc before
calling device_unregister(). During device_unregister(),
device_del() emits a KOBJ_REMOVE uevent and unbinds the driver while
the device descriptor is still expected to be valid. As a result,
i3c_device_uevent() and a racing modalias_show() can observe a NULL
desc and fall back to an uninitialized stack struct i3c_device_info,
leaking kernel stack contents in the generated modalias. Driver
.remove() callbacks may also encounter an unexpected NULL desc during
unbind.

Keep desc valid until device_unregister() has completed. Since
device_unregister() drops the device reference and may free the device,
take an extra reference with get_device() before unregistering. Clear
desc afterwards and release the extra reference with put_device().
This preserves the release-time invariant that desc must be NULL while
avoiding both the information leak and a potential use-after-free from
writing desc after the device has been released.
