Subject: Staging: zram: Fix memory leak by refcount mismatch
From: Rashika Kheria <rashika.kheria@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 1b672224d128ec2570eb37572ff803cfe452b4f7 upstream.
As suggested by Minchan Kim and Jerome Marchand "The code in reset_store
get the block device (bdget_disk()) but it does not put it (bdput()) when
it's done using it. The usage count is therefore incremented but never
decremented."
This patch also puts bdput() for all error cases.
