Commit 4e752f0ab0e8 ("rbd: access snapshot context and mapping size safely") moved ceph_get_snap_context() out of rbd_img_request_create() and into rbd_queue_workfn(), adding a ceph_put_snap_context() to the error path in rbd_queue_workfn(). However, rbd_img_request_create() consumes a ref on snapc, so calling ceph_put_snap_context() after a successful rbd_img_request_create() leads to an extra put. Fix it.
