Subject: [PATCH 3.18 45/64] axonram: Fix gendisk handling

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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>


[ Upstream commit 672a2c87c83649fb0167202342ce85af9a3b4f1c ]

It is invalid to call del_gendisk() when disk->queue is NULL. Fix error
handling in axon_ram_probe() to avoid doing that.

Also del_gendisk() does not drop a reference to gendisk allocated by
alloc_disk(). That has to be done by put_disk(). Add that call where
needed.
