4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2dd4122854f697afc777582d18548dded03ce5dd ]
For kref_get_unless_zero to protect against lookup vs free races we need
to use it in all places where we aren't guaranteed to already hold a
reference. There is no such guarantee in nvme_find_get_ns, so switch to
kref_get_unless_zero in this function.
