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.
