[Devel] [PATCH rh7] ploop: Fix partition refcounter leak

ms commit b7d6c3033323 ("block: fix use-after-free on cached
last_lookup partition") has changed the semantic of
disk_map_sector_rcu() function: previously it only returned appropriate
partition but after the patch it additionally gets a refcounter on that
partition.

RedHat has backported that patch in RHEL7 as
https://access.redhat.com/labs/rhcb/RHEL-7.9/kernel-3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7/patches/blob/1050-block-fix-use-after-free-on-cached-last_lookup-parti.patch

We use disk_map_sector_rcu() in ploop_make_request() for getting proper
partition for correct i/o accounting and thus during the rebase of
3.10.0-1160.25.1.vz7.180.12 onto 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7
(3.10.0-1160.31.1.vz7.181.1) we've got refcounters leak which led to:

 * leaking hd_struct-s for ploop devices partitions on Containers
   start/stop, suspend/resume, mount/umount, etc.
 * as a side effect we've got broken statistics for ploop partitions in
   50% cases (always zeroes are shown)

Fix the leak by adding pair hd_struct_put() into ploop code.

Fixes: 03edeead80d9 ("ploop: fix gendisk disk_stats to be seen on
partition")
