Andrew Morton 4d7dd8fd95 [PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errors 
Check driver layer errors.

Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>

In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed.  Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.

However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object.  So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.

Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
  device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails.  I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.

If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count.  In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder.  Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.

Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later.  Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.
