block: change the refcounting for partitions
Instead of acquiring an inode reference on open make sure partitions always hold device model references to the disk while alive, and switch open to grab only a device model reference to the opened block device. If that is a partition the disk reference is transitively held by the partition already. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210722075402.983367-6-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
