[PATCH v2] mmc: block: fix RPMB device unregister ordering

Since commit 7852028a35f0 ("mmc: block: register RPMB partition with
the RPMB subsystem"), each mmc RPMB partition is represented by two
device objects:
 - the mmc-owned device (`rpmb->dev`, backing the legacy /dev/mmcblkXrpmb
   char device) and
 - the rpmb-core device (`rdev`, backing /dev/rpmbN).

The child RPMB device holds a reference to its parent, so the 
parent's release callback cannot be invoked if the child device 
is still registered.

Remove rpmb_dev_unregister() from the parent release handler and 
unregister the child RPMB device in the remove path before tearing 
down the parent device.

Also delete the extra blank line between mmc_blk_remove_rpmb_part() 
and {.
