Subject: [PATCH] block: fix leaking minors of hidden disks
Git-commit: a0a6314ae774f8a5e52a599946aa2ad0db867b83
Patch-mainline: v6.1-rc1
References: git-fixes
The major/minor of a hidden gendisk is not propagated to the block
device because it is never registered using bdev_add. But the lack of
bd_dev also causes the dynamic major minor number not to be freed.
Assign bd_dev manually to ensure the dynamic major minor gets freed.
Based on a patch by Keith Busch.
