block: fix refcounting in BLKBSZSET
Adam Kovari and others reported that disconnecting an USB drive with
an ntfs-3g filesystem would cause "kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:1421!" to
be triggered.
The BUG could be traced back to ioctl(BLKBSZSET), which would
erroneously decrement the refcount on the bdev. This is because
blkdev_get() expects the refcount to be already incremented and either
returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error.
The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put()
handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior
of blkdev_get().
This fixes

(and likely 29792 too)
