block: simplify bdev_del_partition()
BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION refuses to delete partitions that still have
openers, i.e., that has an elevated @bdev->bd_openers count. If a device
is claimed by setting @bdev->bd_holder and @bdev->bd_holder_ops
@bdev->bd_openers and @bdev->bd_holders are incremented.
@bdev->bd_openers is effectively guaranteed to be >= @bdev->bd_holders.
So as long as @bdev->bd_openers isn't zero we know that this partition
is still in active use and that there might still be @bdev->bd_holder
and @bdev->bd_holder_ops set.

The only current example is @fs_holder_ops for filesystems. But that
means bdev_mark_dead() which calls into
bdev->bd_holder_ops->mark_dead::fs_bdev_mark_dead() is a nop. As long as
there's an elevated @bdev->bd_openers count we can't delete the
partition and if there isn't an elevated @bdev->bd_openers count then
there's no @bdev->bd_holder or @bdev->bd_holder_ops.

So simply open-code what we need to do. This gets rid of one more
instance where we acquire s_umount under @disk->open_mutex.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
