Subject: drivers/block/brd.c: fix brd_lookup_page() race
The index on the page must be set before it is inserted in the radix tree.
Otherwise there is a small race which can occur during lookup where the
page can be found with the incorrect index. This will trigger the
BUG_ON() in brd_lookup_page().
