This is wrong for multiple reasons. One is that we can't simply poke
into block device internals like this in a higher layer like io_uring.
Second blkdev_get_no_open is in no way available for use outside the
block layer. The fact that the even exist as separate helpers that
aren't entirely hidden is a decade old layering violation in blk-cgroup.

If you want to advertize this properly we'll need a flag in struct
file or something similar.
