block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferred

Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
operations.  Reason for this is block/genhd.c:add_disk() has requires
that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().

DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
bd_link_disk_holder().  But until these DM tables, and their associated
subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.

This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
and, at times, the block layer.

Summary of changes:

- Add device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() and add_disk_no_queue_reg() variant
  that drivers may use to add a disk without also calling
  blk_register_queue().  Driver must call blk_register_queue() once its
  request_queue is fully initialized.

- Return early from blk_unregister_queue() if QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
  is not set.  It won't be set if driver used add_disk_no_queue_reg()
  but driver encounters an error and must del_gendisk() before calling
  blk_register_queue().

- Export blk_register_queue().

These changes allow DM to use add_disk_no_queue_reg() to anchor its
gendisk as the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish
with subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded.  Once
all "slave" devices for a DM device are known its request_queue can be
properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization
performed by blk_register_queue() is missed for DM devices anymore.
