block: prevent block device lookups at the beginning of del_gendisk
As an artifact of how gendisk lookup used to work in earlier kernels,
GENHD_FL_UP is only cleared very late in del_gendisk, and a global lock
is used to prevent opens from succeeding while del_gendisk is tearing
down the gendisk. Switch to clearing the flag early and under bd_mutex
so that callers can use bd_mutex to stabilize the flag, which removes
the need for the global mutex.
