Subject: [PATCH 4.14 131/222] libnvdimm: Hold reference on parent while scheduling async init

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...ux.intel.com>

commit b6eae0f61db27748606cc00dafcfd1e2c032f0a5 upstream.

Unlike asynchronous initialization in the core we have not yet associated
the device with the parent, and as such the device doesn't hold a reference
to the parent.

In order to resolve that we should be holding a reference on the parent
until the asynchronous initialization has completed.
