True. However the only reason why the code could realistically fail
between pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and pm_runtime_put() is if we did
not take the runtime PM reference (which would cause the call to
reset_control_acquire() to fail).

So the chances of this actually leaking are practically zero, so I
didn't want to bloat this bugfix with what's essentially dead code. I
can queue up your fix below for v5.14, though, since it's obviously
more correct from a theoretical point of view.
