Subject: [PATCH 3.4 26/60] xen/blkback: fix reference counting

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

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

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@...cle.com>

commit ea5ec76d76da9279d12027c1828544c5ccbe7932 upstream.

If the permission check fails, we drop a reference to the blkif without
having taken it in the first place. The bug was introduced in commit
604c499cbbcc3d5fe5fb8d53306aa0fae1990109 (xen/blkback: Check device
permissions before allowing OP_DISCARD).
