Subject: [PATCH] thunderbolt: Fix a double put in tb_cfg_read_raw

In tb_cfg_read_raw, req is allocated by tb_cfg_request_alloc()
with an initial reference. Before calling tb_cfg_request_sync(),
there is no refcount inc operation. tb_cfg_request_sync()
calls tb_cfg_request(..,req,..) and if the callee failed,
the initial reference of req is dropped and req is freed.

Later in tb_cfg_read_raw before the err check,
tb_cfg_request_put(req) is called again. It may cause error
in race.

My patch puts tb_cfg_request_put(req) after the err check
finished to avoid unexpected result.

Hmm, tb_cfg_request() does tb_cfg_request_get() too and in case of error
it does tb_cfg_request_put(). So the refcount should be fine. What am I
missing?

It happens, no worries :)
