[PATCH] Driver core: Make block devices create the proper symlink name

Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put
in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name
can be created.  This matches the class system, which works the same
way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time.
