mm: fix refcounting in swapon
Grab a reference to bdev before calling blkdev_get(), which expects the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or decrements the refcount and returns an error. The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior of blkdev_get().
