From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 5f6c2d2b7dbb541c1e922538c49fa04c494ae3d7 upstream. When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case. Fix it.
