[RFC 0/6] block: enhance use of GENHD_FL_UP

[Luis Chamberlain]

This is the second group of patches which I'd like some review on as
part of the *add_disk*() error handling conversion. While converting
drivers to add error handling, I noticed some were using the flag
GENHD_FL_UP to see if a block device is ready, or for bringing a
device down, so to call del_gendisk() safely. This first group of
patches just address the few areas where the flag is used directly.

Direct use of the flag GENHD_FL_UP is useful but incorrect as we can
add the flag in a gendisk left half built. Instead, add a flag to
actually represent the desired goal.

The next group will deal with the use of the flag for del_gendisk().

Luis Chamberlain (6):
