A regression is seen where mddev devices stay permanently after they
are stopped due to an elevated reference count.
This was tracked down to an extra mddev_get() in md_seq_start().
It only happened rarely because most of the time the md_seq_start()
is called with a zero offset. The path with an extra mddev_get() only
happens when it starts with a non-zero offset.
The commit noted below changed an mddev_get() to check its success
but inadvertently left the original call in. Remove the extra call.
Fixes: 12a6caf273 ("md: only delete entries from all_mddevs when the disk is freed")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
