Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 25/56] PM: hibernate: remove the bogus call to get_gendisk() in software_resume()

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

[ Upstream commit 428805c0c5e76ef643b1fbc893edfb636b3d8aef ]

get_gendisk grabs a reference on the disk and file operation, so this
code will leak both of them while having absolutely no use for the
gendisk itself.

This effectively reverts commit 2df83fa4bce421f ("PM / Hibernate: Use
get_gendisk to verify partition if resume_file is integer format")
