[ +0.006129] BUG: unable to handle kernel
While analyzing this issue, I observed that while creating the first raid disk,
we hide first raid disk's PD devices (i.e. device will be their but it won't have
block device entry). But kernel is not removing the entries of this first raid disk's
PD devices BDI's in /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/ path, still it shows bdi device entries
for these PD eventhough these PD doesn't have a block device names.
e.g.
output of 'ls -l /dev/sd*' after creating first raid disk
[root@dhcp ~]# ls -l /dev/sd*

Here we can observe that there are no block devices for
'8:32' & '8:48' bdi entries, which are PD's for raid disk /dev/sdk.
Now while creating a second raid disk, kernel is trying to use
MAJOR:MINOR as 8:32 for second raid disk and we observe
above kernel OOPs.
By calling bdi_unregister() in del_gendisk() function has resolved this
issue.
v2 Change set:
* Remove bdi device from on the list only if it has valid device
