The major/minor of a hidden gendisk is not propagated to the block
device because it is never registered using bdev_add. But the lack of
bd_dev also causes the dynamic major minor number not to be freed.
Assign bd_dev manually to ensure the dynamic major minor gets freed.
Based on a patch by Keith Busch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
