[PATCH] Fix NULL pointer dereference in bl_free_device().
From: Artem Savkov
Date: Tue Jul 19 2016 - 07:31:24 EST
When bl_parse_deviceid() fails in bl_alloc_deviceid_node() on
blkdev_get_by_*() step we get an pnfs_block_dev struct that is
uninitialized except for bdev field which is set to whatever error
blkdev_get_by_*() returns. bl_free_device() then tries to call
blkdev_put() if bdev is not 0 resulting in a wrong pointer dereference.
Fixing this by making sure bdev is not an error code in bl_free_device().
