[RFC PATCH v3 02/18] block: Add get_disk_by_name() for use by blkdev LED trigger

[Ian Pilcher <arequipeno@gmail.com>]

Add API that gets a "handle" (pointer & incremented reference count) to a
block device (struct gendisk) by name.  Used by the block device LED
trigger when configuring which device(s) an LED should monitor.
