free_pardevice() is called by parport_unregister_device() and already frees
pp->pdev->name, don't try to do it again.

This bug causes kernel crashes.

I found and verified this with KASAN and some added pr_emerg()s:

[   60.316568] pp_release: pp->pdev->name == ffff88039cb264c0
[   60.316692] free_pardevice: freeing par_dev->name at ffff88039cb264c0
