block: Fix race during disk initialization
When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk (via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in __mark_inode_dirty(). Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.
