Hm, that actually ignores the "someone else" part of the comment and
introduces a semantic change. No idea, if it breaks anything though.

Hi,

please ignore the last revision of this patch. There were some places where
semantics where changed instead of just presentation. Also the bd_claim()
'fixup' was reverted, due to a misunderstanding of the code.


This patch replaces some funky codepaths in fs/block_dev.c with cleaner
versions of the affected places.
