libata: fix probe_ent alloc/free bugs
ata_probe_ent_alloc() had a temporary hack such that devm_kzalloc() was used for allocation if devres had been previously initialized on the device; otherwise, plain kzalloc() was used. This was to make the code useable from both the old and devres-aware libata drivers during transition. This hack made ata_sas_port_alloc() unable to determine how the probe_ent is allocated, causing double free in some cases. Remove the now-unneeded hack and make ata_sas_port_alloc() use devm_kfree().
