block: Make blk_get_backing_dev_info() safe without open bdev 

Currenly blk_get_backing_dev_info() is not safe to be called when the
block device is not open as bdev->bd_disk is NULL in that case. However
inode_to_bdi() uses this function and may be call called from flusher
worker or other writeback related functions without bdev being open
which leads to crashes such as:
