[ Upstream commit 2dd4122854f697afc777582d18548dded03ce5dd ]
For kref_get_unless_zero to protect against lookup vs free races we need to use it in all places where we aren't guaranteed to already hold a reference. There is no such guarantee in nvme_find_get_ns, so switch to kref_get_unless_zero in this function.
