[dm-devel] [PATCH v3 09/10] block: store the holder kobject in bd_holder_disk

[Yu Kuai]

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3 at huawei.com>

We hold a reference to the holder kobject for each bd_holder_disk,
so to make the code a bit more robust, use a reference to it instead
of the block_device.  As long as no one clears ->bd_holder_dir in
before freeing the disk, this isn't strictly required, but it does
make the code more clear and more robust.
