block: simplify holder symlink handling

Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly
complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra
references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder
support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities.

Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it
use a separate interface.  This is a step for cleaning up
bd_claim/release.  This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but
it will be simplified again with further changes.
