Avoid that the sd driver registers a BDI device with a name that
is still in use. This patch avoids that the following warning is
triggered sporadically:

Changes compared to v4:
- Renamed the device filter function.
- Added test to skip sg child device.
Changes between v3 and v4:
- Added (dev->class != &sdev_class) test to device filter function.
Changes between v2 and v3:
- Switched from separating BDI unregistration and deletion to increasing
the sd device reference count.
Changes between v1 and v2:
- Changed the approach from swapping the device_del() and
blk_cleanup_queue() calls to separating BDI unregistration and deletion.
