[PATCH 0/6] cdev: delete partitions when deleting master cdev

[Ahmad Fatoum]

blockdevice_unregister only calls devfs_remove on the root cdev and
leaves the partition cdevs dangling. This doesn't break until the
block device parent struct device is freed at which time, it will
iterate over its cdevs to free them. If there's partitions there,
list_del on the partitions triggers a use after free.

This series fixes this by removing partitions whenever the master cdev
is deleted.

Code has been this way since for ever, but virtio deletes its devices on
shutdown triggering this issue. As virtio isn't that critical, I think
it's ok to not go into master right away and sit in next first.
