RE: [PATCH 2/2] block: fix a race between del_gendisk and BLKRRPART

From: Gulam Mohamed <redacted>

When BLKRRPART is called concurrently with del_gendisk, the partitions 
rescan can create a stale partition that will never be be cleaned up.

Fix this by checking the the disk is up before rescanning partitions 
while under bd_mutex.
