<title>block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct</title>

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.

Switch the partition iter infrastructure to iterate over block_device

block_device.

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load
the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures.

Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is
a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead
of the hd_struct.  The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by
the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.
