Zqiang 9fbfabfda2 block: fix incorrect references to disk objects
When adding partitions to the disk, the reference count of the disk
object is increased. then alloc partition device and called
device_add(), if the device_add() return error, the reference
count of the disk object will be reduced twice, at put_device(pdev)
and put_disk(disk). this leads to the end of the object's life cycle
prematurely, and trigger following calltrace.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
