Subject: [PATCH 5.8 026/124] nvme-core: put ctrl ref when module ref get fail

From: Chaitanya Kulkarni <chaitanya.kulkarni@....com>

commit 4bab69093044ca81f394bd0780be1b71c5a4d308 upstream.

When try_module_get() fails in the nvme_dev_open() it returns without
releasing the ctrl reference which was taken earlier.

Put the ctrl reference which is taken before calling the
try_module_get() in the error return code path.

Fixes: 52a3974feb1a "nvme-core: get/put ctrl and transport module in nvme_dev_open/release()"
