Now that we stop sd and sr from submitting passthrough commands from
their ->release methods we can and should start the drain before taking
->open_mutex, so that we can entirely prevent this kind of deadlock by
ensuring that the disk is clearly marked dead before open_mutex is
taken in del_gendisk.

This includes a revert of commit 7e04da2dc701 ("block: fix deadlock
between sd_remove & sd_release"), which was a partial fix for a similar
deadlock.
