[21/54] blkdev: cgroup whitelist permission fix

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>

commit b7300b78d1a87625975a799a109a2f98d77757c8 upstream.

The cgroup device whitelist code gets confused when trying to grant
permission to a disk partition that is not currently open.  Part of
blkdev_open() includes __blkdev_get() on the whole disk.

Basically, the only ways to reliably allow a cgroup access to a partition
on a block device when using the whitelist are to 1) also give it access
to the whole block device or 2) make sure the partition is already open in
a different context.

The patch avoids the cgroup check for the whole disk case when opening a
partition.
