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.

- Updated to use local variable @mode to cache FMODE_* masks as
  suggested by Artem Bityutskiy.

This change will cause two conflicts in the series.  I'm not reposting
them now as they're mostly trivial.  Git tree is fully updated.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git cleanup-bd_claim

Jens, please let me know when/if you want the full series reposted.

Thanks.

Do you want this patch to go in via Jens' tree with the rest of the
series, or as an independent patch via the mtd tree?

Anyway,

Thanks!

It probably would be easier if this is routed through Jens' tree as
it's necessary for later patches in the series, but this being a fix,
this should be merged during this cycle rather than the next one.
Jens, how do you want to proceed?

Thank you.
