From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit e91455bad5cff40a8c232f2204a5104127e3fec2 upstream. Commit 89e524c04fa9 ("loop: Fix mount(2) failure due to race with LOOP_SET_FD") converted blkdev_get() to use the new helpers for finishing claiming of a block device. However the conversion botched the error handling in blkdev_get() and thus the bdev has been marked as held even in case __blkdev_get() returned error. This led to occasional warnings with block/001 test from blktests like: kernel: WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 907 at fs/block_dev.c:1899 __blkdev_put+0x396/0x3a0 Correct the error handling.
