Subject: [PATCH 3.16 148/346] block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit df08c32ce3be5be138c1dbfcba203314a3a7cd6f upstream.

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:

 WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 2078 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80
 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/259:1'
