From: Stefan Haberland The function dasd_device_from_cdev returns a reference to the dasd device and increases the refcount by one. If an exception occurs, the refcount was not decreased in all cases e.g. in dasd_discipline_show. Prevent the offline processing from hang by correcting two functions to decrease the refcount even if an error occured.
