block: Don't check events while open is in progress
Not all block drivers clear events immediately after reporting. Some do so in ->revalidate_disk() or other steps during ->open(). There is a slim chance event poll may happen between the clearing event check from check_disk_change() and the actual clearing of the events which would result in spurious events. Block event checks while block device open is in progress. There is no need to kick explicit event check afterwards as events are always checked during open. -v2: The original patch could have called disk_unblock_events() with an already released or %NULL @disk causing oops. Fixed by making sure references are put after disk_unblock_events() is called. It also makes the error path of __blkdev_get() a bit simpler. This problem was reported by Jens.
