3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 02e2b124943648fba0a2ccee5c3656a5653e0151 upstream.
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).
