    block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch · df08c32c

    The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
    However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
    window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
    bdi with the same name is still live.  Arrange for the bdi to hold a
    reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
    Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:
