From: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c8997736650060594845e42c5d01d3118aec8d25 upstream. A bfq_put_queue() may be invoked in __bfq_bic_change_cgroup(). The goal of this put is to release a process reference to a bfq_queue. But process-reference releases may trigger also some extra operation, and, to this goal, are handled through bfq_release_process_ref(). So, turn the invocation of bfq_put_queue() into an invocation of bfq_release_process_ref().
