block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get

To simplify block device lookup and a few other upcoming areas, make sure
that we always have a struct block_device available for each disk and
each partition, and only find existing block devices in bdget.  The only
downside of this is that each device and partition uses a little more
memory.  The upside will be that a lot of code can be simplified.

With that all we need to look up the block device is to lookup the inode
and do a few sanity checks on the gendisk, instead of the separate lookup
for the gendisk.  For blk-cgroup which wants to access a gendisk without
opening it, a new blkdev_{get,put}_no_open low-level interface is added
to replace the previous get_gendisk use.

Note that the change to look up block device directly instead of the two
step lookup using struct gendisk causes a subtile change in behavior:
accessing a non-existing partition on an existing block device can now
cause a call to request_module.  That call is harmless, and in practice
no recent system will access these nodes as they aren't created by udev
and static /dev/ setups are unusual.
