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:
[113031.075540] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
[113031.075614] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003692e0
