Commit6fcf0c72e4, a fix to get_tree_bdev() put a missing blkdev_put() in the wrong place, before a warnf() that displays the bdev under consideration rather after it. This results in a silent lockup in printk("%pg") called via warnf() from get_tree_bdev() under some circumstances when there's a race with the blockdev being frozen. This can be caused by xfstests/tests/generic/085 in combination with Lukas Czerner's ext4 mount API conversion patchset. It looks like it ought to occur with other users of get_tree_bdev() such as XFS, but apparently doesn't. Fix this by switching the order of the lines.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
