CVE-2024-50150 usb: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent

The altmode device release refers to its parent device, but without keeping
a reference to it.

When registering the altmode, get a reference to the parent and put it in
the release function.

Before this fix, when using CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE, we see issues
like this:
