Since rc_unregister_device() frees its argument, the subsequently
call to rc_free_device() on the same variable will cause a double
free bug. Fix by set argument to NULL, thus when fall through to
rc_free_device(), nothing will be done there.

The patch is right, so thanks for that. However, some else has beaten you
to it, I'm afraid:

I guess it's up Mauro to decide which one to accept.
