Jan Kara 56c0908c85 genhd: Fix BUG in blkdev_open()
When two blkdev_open() calls for a partition race with device removal
and recreation, we can hit BUG_ON(!bd_may_claim(bdev, whole, holder)) in
blkdev_open(). The race can happen as follows:

CPU0				CPU1			CPU2
							del_gendisk()
							  bdev_unhash_inode(part1);

blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL)	blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL)
  bdev = bd_acquire()		  bdev = bd_acquire()
  blkdev_get(bdev)
    bd_start_claiming(bdev)
      - finds old inode 'whole'
      bd_prepare_to_claim() -> 0
							  bdev_unhash_inode(whole);
							<device removed>
							<new device under same
							 number created>
				  blkdev_get(bdev);
				    bd_start_claiming(bdev)
				      - finds new inode 'whole'
				      bd_prepare_to_claim()
					- this also succeeds as we have
					  different 'whole' here...
					- bad things happen now as we
					  have two exclusive openers of
					  the same bdev

The problem here is that block device opens can see various intermediate
states while gendisk is shutting down and then being recreated.

We fix the problem by introducing new lookup_sem in gendisk that
synchronizes gendisk deletion with get_gendisk() and furthermore by
making sure that get_gendisk() does not return gendisk that is being (or
has been) deleted. This makes sure that once we ever manage to look up
newly created bdev inode, we are also guaranteed that following
get_gendisk() will either return failure (and we fail open) or it
returns gendisk for the new device and following bdget_disk() will
return new bdev inode (i.e., blkdev_open() follows the path as if it is
completely run after new device is created).
