uml: handle block device hotplug errors
If a disk fails to open, i.e. its host file doesn't exist, it won't be removable because the hot-unplug code checks the existence of its gendisk. This won't exist because it is only allocated for successfully opened disks. Thus, a typo on the command line can result in a unusable and unfixable disk. This is fixed by freeing the gendisk if it's there, but not letting that affect the removal.
