move bd_mutex to the gendisk

Hi all,

this series first cleans up gendisk allocation in the md driver to remove
the ERESTARTSYS hack in blkdev_get, then further refactors blkdev_get
and then finally moves bd_mutex into the gendisk as having separate locks
for the whole device vs partitions just complicates locking in places that
add an remove partitions a lot.

Note that this series sits on top of the for-5.13/drivers branch as that
has the ->revalidate_disk cleanup.
