Subject: [PATCH] dm/dax: Fix table reference counts

A recent fix to the dm_dax_supported() flow uncovered a latent bug. When
dm_get_live_table() fails it is still required to drop the
srcu_read_lock(). Without this change the lvm2 test-suite triggers this
warning:

    # lvm2-testsuite --only pvmove-abort-all.sh

    WARNING: lock held when returning to user space!
    5.9.0-rc5+ #251 Tainted: G           OE
    ------------------------------------------------
    lvm/1318 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
    1 lock held by lvm/1318:
     #0: ffff9372abb5a340 (&md->io_barrier){....}-{0:0}, at: dm_get_live_table+0x5/0xb0 [dm_mod]

...and later on this hang signature:

    INFO: task lvm:1344 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
          Tainted: G           OE     5.9.0-rc5+ #251
    "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
