Subject: nvme-fc: remove double put reference if admin connect fails
From: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4596e752db02d47038cd7c965419789ab15d1985 ]
There are two put references in the failure case of initial
create_association. The first put actually frees the controller, thus the
second put references freed memory.
Remove the unnecessary 2nd put.
