Subject: [PATCH 3.2 095/185] Staging: zram: Fix memory leak by refcount
 mismatch

3.2.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Rashika Kheria <rashika.kheria@...il.com>

commit 1b672224d128ec2570eb37572ff803cfe452b4f7 upstream.

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.
