block: add a flag to make put_disk on partially initalized disks safer

Add a flag to indicate that __device_add_disk did grab a queue reference
so that disk_release only drops it if we actually had it.  This sort
out one of the major pitfals with partially initialized gendisk that
a lot of drivers did get wrong or still do.
