We hold a reference to the holder kobject for each bd_holder_disk,
so to make the code a bit more robust, use a reference to it instead
of the block_device. As long as no one clears ->bd_holder_dir in
before freeing the disk, this isn't strictly required, but it does
make the code more clear and more robust.

Currently, the caller of bd_link_disk_holer() get 'bdev' by
blkdev_get_by_dev(), which will look up 'bdev' by inode number 'dev'.
Howerver, it's possible that del_gendisk() can be called currently, and
'bd_holder_dir' can be freed before bd_link_disk_holer() access it, thus
use after free is triggered.
t1: t2:
bdev = blkdev_get_by_dev
del_gendisk
kobject_put(bd_holder_dir)
kobject_free()
bd_link_disk_holder
Fix the problem by checking disk is still live and grabbing a reference
to 'bd_holder_dir' first in bd_link_disk_holder().

Now that dm has been fixed to track of holder registrations before
add_disk, the somewhat buggy block layer code can be safely removed.

Since commit 83cbce957446("block: add error handling for device_add_disk /
add_disk"), bdev->bd_holder_dir can not be empty now, so remove WARN_ON()
from bd_link_disk_holder.

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h
header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h
and remove genhd.h entirely.

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.

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").
