    blk-cbt: fix count decrement and check in cbt_page_alloc
    
    Before this line of code cbt->count is always > 0 as it is:
    symmetrically incremented/decremented in this function under cbt->lock,
    and we are at the point just before decrementing it. This means that
    !cbt->count-- (note: postfix decrement returns value before operation)
    is always false and we never enter the true branch of this condition.
    
    It seems the intent was to call release callbacks on reaching zero
    count, let's fix it.
    
    We have a cbt->cache percpu allocation leak detected by kmemleak, which
    might be caused by this uncalled release callback.
