md: fix a lock order reversal in md_alloc
Commit b0140891 ("md: Fix race when creating a new md device.") not only moved assigning mddev->gendisk before calling add_disk, which fixes the races described in the commit log, but also added a mddev->open_mutex critical section over add_disk and creation of the md kobj. Adding a kobject after add_disk is racy vs deleting the gendisk right after adding it, but md already prevents against that by holding a mddev->active reference. On the other hand taking this lock added a lock order reversal with what is not disk->open_mutex (used to be bdev->bd_mutex when the commit was added) for partition devices, which need that lock for the internal open for the partition scan, and a recent commit also takes it for non-partitioned devices, leading to further lockdep splatter.
