3.16.65-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Finn Thain fthain@telegraphics.com.au
commit 296dcc40f2f2e402facf7cd26cf3f2c8f4b17d47 upstream.
When the block device is opened with FMODE_EXCL, ref_count is set to -1. This value doesn't get reset when the device is closed which means the device cannot be opened again. Fix this by checking for refcount <= 0 in the release method.
