[PATCH 3.14 84/84] NVMe: Initialize device reference count earlier

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx>

commit fb35e914b3f88cda9ee6f9d776910c35269c4ecf upstream.

If an NVMe device becomes ready but fails to create IO queues, the driver
creates a character device handle so the device can be managed. The
device reference count needs to be initialized before creating the
character device.
