[S390] dasd: fix reference counting in display method for proc/dasd/devices
Using the /proc/dasd/devices interface leaves the reference counter of alias devices in an inconsistent state. A process that tries to set such a device offline afterwards will hang. The dasd_devices_show function returns immediately for alias devices and this code path was missing a dasd_put_device call.
