Subject: [PATCH] dm: noflush resizing (1/3) Add bdlookup()

This patch adds bdlookup() and bdlookup_disk().
They are lookup-only variant of bdget()/bdget_disk().

The function can be used when
  - the caller wants to get bdev only if somebody already got it
    (i.e. there is already bd_inode allocated in memory)
  - the race between bdlookup() and bdget() is acceptable

The patch is a preparation for the 2nd part of this patchset.

Background:
  inode is initialized with I_LOCK and I_NEW turned on.
  After initialization, both flags are turned off.

  bdget() uses iget5_locked(), which waits until I_LOCK is removed.
  It could take so long or forever.
