virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick
del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the /sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is trying to read it. virtblk_remove() vdev->config->reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt del_gendisk() device_del() kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero sysfs_open_file(): user space process read /sys/block/vda/serial sysfs_get_active() : got sysfs entry ref count dev_attr_show() virtblk_serial_show() blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled request cannot be finished This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be finished and del_gendisk() will success. This fixes another race in hot-unplug process. It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).
