block: fix use-after-free on cached last_lookup partition
delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the .last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered on the cached partition. Fixes the issue by the following approach: 1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before setting .last_lookup 2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free() which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup. It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and it is easier to understand and verify.
