rbd: don't free rbd_dev outside of the release callback
struct rbd_device has struct device embedded in it, which means it's part of kobject universe and has an unpredictable life cycle. Freeing its memory outside of the release callback is flawed, yet commits 200a6a8b ("rbd: don't destroy rbd_dev in device release function") and 8ad42cd0 ("rbd: don't have device release destroy rbd_dev") moved rbd_dev_destroy() out to rbd_dev_image_release(). This commit reverts most of that, the key points are: - rbd_dev->dev is initialized in rbd_dev_create(), making it possible to use rbd_dev_destroy() - which is just a put_device() - both before we register with device core and after. - rbd_dev_release() (the release callback) is the only place we kfree(rbd_dev). It's also where we do module_put(), keeping the module unload race window as small as possible. - We pin the module in rbd_dev_create(), but only for mapping rbd_dev-s. Moving image related stuff out of struct rbd_device into another struct which isn't tied with sysfs and device core is long overdue, but until that happens, this will keep rbd module refcount (which users can observe with lsmod) sane.
