Opening a block device may require a long operation such as waiting for
the cdrom tray to close. Performing this operation with locks held locks
out other attempts to open the device. These processes waiting to open
the device are not killable.
To avoid this issue and still be able to perform time-consuming checks
at open() time the block device driver can provide open_finish(). If it
does opening the device proceeds even when an error is returned from
open(), bd_mutex is released and open_finish() is called. If
open_finish() succeeds the device is now open, if it fails release() is
called.
When -ERESTARTSYS is returned from open() blkdev_get may loop without
calling open_finish(). On -ERESTARTSYS open_finish() is not called.
Move a ret = 0 assignment up in the if/else branching to avoid returning
-ENXIO. Previously the return value was ignored on the unhandled branch.
