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.
