This essentially reverts "block: remove the extra kobject reference in
bd_link_disk_holder". That commit dropped the extra reference because
the condition in the comment can't be true. But it turns out that
comment did not actually describe the problematic situation, so add
back the extra reference and document it properly.

device mapper needs to register holders before it is ready to do I/O.
Currently it does so by registering the disk early, which can leave
the disk and queue in a weird half state where the queue is registered
with the disk, except for sysfs and the elevator. And this state has
been a bit promlematic before, and will get more so when sorting out
the responsibilities between the queue and the disk.
Support registering holders on an initialized but not registered disk
instead by delaying the sysfs registration until the disk is registered.

Invert they way the holder relations are tracked. This very
slightly reduces the memory overhead for partitioned devices.

Since commit 0d02129e76 ("block: merge struct block_device and struct
hd_struct") there is no way for the bdev to go away as long as there is
a holder, so remove the extra references.

Move the block holder code into a separate file as it is not in any way
related to the other block_dev.c code, and add a new selectable config
option for it so that we don't have to build it without any remapped
drivers selected.
The Kconfig symbol contains a _DEPRECATED suffix to match the comments
added in commit 49731baa41
("block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support").
