block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct
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.
