virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in use When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and ids as the hot removed one. This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached device completely unusable. Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully removed. Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine.
