 Damien is right. bd_disk can be NULL. From
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20210425043020.30065-1-bvanassche@xxxxxxx/:
"bio_max_size() may get called before device_add_disk() and hence needs to
check whether or not the block device pointer is NULL. [ ... ]
This patch prevents that bio_max_size() triggers the following kernel
crash during a SCSI LUN scan:\
