rbd: don't leak parent_spec in rbd_dev_probe_parent()

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 1f2c6651f6 ]

Currently we leak parent_spec and trigger a "parent reference
underflow" warning if rbd_dev_create() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails.
The problem is we take the !parent out_err branch and that only drops
refcounts; parent_spec that would've been freed had we called
rbd_dev_unparent() remains and triggers rbd_warn() in
rbd_dev_parent_put() - at that point we have parent_spec != NULL and
parent_ref == 0, so counter ends up being -1 after the decrement.

Redo rbd_dev_probe_parent() to fix this.
