[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] block: Fix use-after-free in bdev_del_partition()

[Peilin Ye]

In bdev_del_partition(), `part` is being looked up outside the critical
section. This is causing bdev_del_partition() to delete the same partition
more than once. Fix it by reverting commit cddae808aeb7.

Fixes: cddae808aeb7 ("block: pass a hd_struct to delete_partition")
