[PATCH v3 2/3] dma/idxd: fix memory leak due to free on incorrect pointer

During PCI device close, any allocated memory needs to be free'd.
Currently, one of the free's is being called on an incorrect idxd_dmadev
struct member, namely 'batch_idx_ring'.

At device creation, memory is allocated for both 'batch_comp_ring' and
'batch_idx_ring' simultaeneously. Calling free only on 'batch_idx_ring'
meant the first half of this memory was not being free'd, leading to the
memleak.

This patch fixes this memleak by calling free on 'batch_comp_ring' which
will free the memory for both rings.
