[RFC 04/11] bus/fslmc: fix memory leaks in scan

During the scan phase (more precisely, during device filtering),
device pointers were leaked.

Add a simple helper so a device pointer is fully freed.

As a consequence of the filtering during scan, all blocklisted devices
are freed from the bus list during scan: there is no need for
reevaluating if a device is blocklisted during cleanup.
