Always keep the reference to structure block_device.
Reference to block_device is obtained with function bdget_disk (and is released
with bdput.
bdget_disk was called while the device was being suspended, in dm_suspend() ---
however at this point, there could be another devices already suspended.
bdget_disk can wait for IO and allocate memory and this could result in waiting
for already suspended device, resulting in deadlock.
It caused bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179786
This patch changes the code so that it gets the reference to struct block_device
when struct mapped_device is allocated and initialized in (alloc_dev) and drops
the reference when it is destroyed in free_dev. Thus, there is no call to
bdget_disk, while any device is suspended.
