From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> commit 08b9e0ab8af48895337192e683de44ab1e1b7427 upstream. There is a potential race between queue_work() returning and the queued-work running that could result in put_device() running before get_device(). Introduce the cxl_nvdimm_bridge_state_work() helper that takes the reference unconditionally, but drops it if no new work was queued, to keep the references balanced.
