block: fix incorrect references to disk objects



When adding partitions to the disk, the reference count of the disk
object is increased. then alloc partition device and called
device_add(), if the device_add() return error, the reference
count of the disk object will be reduced twice, at put_device(pdev)
and put_disk(disk). this leads to the end of the object's life cycle
prematurely, and trigger following calltrace.
