block: Allow bdi re-registration
SCSI can call device_add_disk() several times for one request queue when a device in unbound and bound, creating new gendisk each time. This will lead to bdi being repeatedly registered and unregistered. This was not a big problem until commit 165a5e22 "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()" since bdi was only registered repeatedly (bdi_register() handles repeated calls fine, only we ended up leaking reference to gendisk due to overwriting bdi->owner) but unregistered only in blk_cleanup_queue() which didn't get called repeatedly. After 165a5e22 we were doing correct bdi_register() - bdi_unregister() cycles however bdi_unregister() is not prepared for it. So make sure bdi_unregister() cleans up bdi in such a way that it is prepared for a possible following bdi_register() call. An easy way to provoke this behavior is to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE and use scsi_debug driver to create a scsi disk which immediately hangs without this fix.
