There are two bdev exclusive open bugs.

* open_bdev_exclusive() must not be called with NULL holder.  Use dev
  as the holder.

* open_by_devnum() doesn't open the bdev exclusively but
  block2mtd_free_device() always assumes it.  Explicitly claim the
  bdev.

The latter is rather clumsy but will be simplified with future
blkdev_get/put() cleanups.

Would be a bit cleaner to define ea temporary variable:

fmode_t mode = FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE;

Would you to re-send with this little change please?

And ideally, 2 independent patches would be nicer because you fix 2
independent issues.

Yeap, sure.

Hmmm... not really.  The patch is small enough and splitting it won't
really buy as any better bisectability.  Splitting patches into
logical changes is a good thing but it's no religious dogma.  Let's
apply it to the point it actually helps.

Thank you.

Well, it is more about if your second fix is buggy, we could revert it
without reverting the first fix. But anyway, this is not a big deal, so
let's forget about this indeed.
