block: remove parent device reference from struct bsg_class_device
Bsg holding a reference to the parent device may result in a crash if a bsg file handle is closed after the parent device driver has unloaded. Holding a reference is not really needed: the parent device must exist between bsg_register_queue and bsg_unregister_queue. Before the device goes away the caller does blk_cleanup_queue so that all in-flight requests to the device are gone and all new requests cannot pass beyond the queue. The queue itself is a refcounted object and it will stay alive with a bsg file. Based on analysis, previous patch and changelog from Anatoliy Glagolev.
