Blkg_conf_finish is used after blkg_conf_prep.

Blkg_conf_prep calls get_disk and increases module refcount. However,
blkg_conf_finish only calls put_disk which doesn't decrease module refcount.
So we call module_put here additionally to keep module refcount balanced.

This is reported several times. Jens, could you pick up one?
