From: Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@xxxxxxx>
commit 4bab69093044ca81f394bd0780be1b71c5a4d308 upstream.
When try_module_get() fails in the nvme_dev_open() it returns without
releasing the ctrl reference which was taken earlier.
Put the ctrl reference which is taken before calling the
try_module_get() in the error return code path.
Fixes: 52a3974feb1a "nvme-core: get/put ctrl and transport module in nvme_dev_open/release()"
