[PATCH] fix: nvmet: nvmet_sq_create: fix ctrl reference leak on nvmet_check_sqid failure

[WenTao Liang]

After kref_get_unless_zero successfully acquires a ctrl reference, the
  nvmet_check_sqid failure path returns the status directly without calling
  nvmet_ctrl_put, leaving the ctrl reference permanently leaked.

Add nvmet_ctrl_put before returning on the nvmet_check_sqid error path to
  properly release the acquired reference.
