When calling remove_memory_block(), the function shows following message at
device_release().
"Device 'memory528' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must
be fixed."
The reason is memory_block's device struct does not have a release() function.
So the patch registers memory_block_release() to the device's release() function
for suppressing the warning message. Additionally, the patch moves kfree(mem)
into the release function since the release function is prepared as a means
to free a memory_block struct.
