[PATCH] preparation to use of driverfs refcounts, part 1 - partitions
* update_partition() split into add_partition() and delete_partition(). * all updating of ->part[] is switched to these two (including initial filling/final cleaning). * per-partition devices are allocated on-demand and never reused. We allocate struct device in add_partition() and put reference to it into hd_struct. ->release() for that struct device frees it. delete_partition() removes reference from hd_struct and does put_device() on it. Basically, we get rid of problems with reused struct device by never reusing them... At that point devices for partitions are nice and sane.
