The daxctl_dev_alloc_mem() helper which is used to instantiate a new
memory object did so, but neglected to attach the memory object to the
parent 'dev' object. As a result, every invocation of
'daxctl_dev_get_memory() resulted in a new, orphan memory object being
created, which also resulted in libdaxctl leaking memory.

Fix the parent association for 'mem' objects, and in free_mem, remove
the check for 'dev' being present - mem objects will always associated
with a dev.

Additionally, we were neglecting to free 'mem->mem_buf' in free_mem, so
fix this up as well.

There is a comment in daxctl_dev_disable() which says:

        /* If there is a memory object, first free that */

I'm 100% sure that dev can't be NULL there.  So that comment no longer applies.

May want to remove that comment.

Hm, I'm not sure I follow.

Yes, dev can't be null there, but 'mem' can me. Hence the comment saying
if /mem/ is present, free it.

The check in free_mem() only checks for non-NULL mem too.
