[PATCH v10] Staging: zram: Fix memory leak by refcount mismatch

From: Rashika Kheria
Date: Fri Nov 01 2013 - 10:06:29 EST


As suggested by Minchan Kim and Jerome Marchand "The code in reset_store
get the block device (bdget_disk()) but it does not put it (bdput()) when
it's done using it. The usage count is therefore incremented but never
decremented."

This patch also puts bdput() for all error cases.
