mm: backing-dev: Take a reference to the bdi in use to prevent UAF
KASAN reports a reproducible issue in the BDI handling code due to a
dereference of a previously freed pointer to 'struct backing_dev_info'
in bdi_unregister().
Because of a distinct lack of locking and/or reference taking,
blk_cleanup_queue() puts the final taken reference to the bdi, which
is then promptly freed by release_bdi(). However, del_gendisk() calls
bdi_unregister() after the fact, which then attempts to dereference
it causing the kernel to panic.
