    g_part: access leak causes process to hang

    So if one inserts a USB drive with a GPT that doesn't match the media
    size, a resize is initiated, so gpart takes g_access(cp, 1, 1, 1) on the
    disk and holds it until the resize is accepted or rejected. The orphan
    path releases it, but the spoil path does not. So if the drive is
    ejected while the resize is in flight, we call spoil directly, without
    releasing the access. Since gpt_opened is not cleared for the spoil
    path, this causes several different process to hang in the open path
    waiting for the leaked access.

    Move the release into the wither function when gpt_opened is set, and
    remove the release elsewhere. Since all paths to destroy the geom pass
    through wither, this ensure that access is always released when we've
    taken the access for resize.
