block: add a ->free_disk method
Add a method to notify the driver that the gendisk is about to be freed.
This allows drivers to tie the lifetime of their private data to that of
the gendisk and thus deal with device removal races without expensive
synchronization and boilerplate code.
A new flag is added so that ->free_disk is only called after a successful
call to add_disk, which significantly simplifies the error handling path
during probing.
