When bl_parse_deviceid() fails in bl_alloc_deviceid_node() on
blkdev_get_by_*() step we get an pnfs_block_dev struct that is
uninitialized except for bdev field which is set to whatever error
blkdev_get_by_*() returns.  bl_free_device() then tries to call
blkdev_put() if bdev is not 0 resulting in a wrong pointer dereference.

Fixing this by making sure bdev is not an error code in bl_free_device().
