block: fix use-after-free on cached last_lookup partition

delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the
.last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared
from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting
partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered
on the cached partition.

Fixes the issue by the following approach:

1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before
setting .last_lookup

2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free()
which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no
IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup.

It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead
in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline
in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and
it is easier to understand and verify.
