Al Viro 2638c20876 missing helpers: bdev_unhash(), bdev_drop()
bdev_unhash(): make block device invisible to lookups by device number
bdev_drop(): drop reference to associated inode.

Both are internal, for use by genhd and partition-related code - similar
to bdev_add().  The logics in there (especially the lifetime-related
parts of it) ought to be cleaned up, but that's a separate story; here
we just encapsulate getting to associated inode.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
