intel_th: fix device leak on output open()
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device
during output device open() on errors and on close().
Note that a recent commit fixed the leak in a couple of open() error
paths but not all of them, and the reference is still leaking on
successful open().
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
