brd: defer automatic disk creation until module initialization succeeds

My colleague Wupeng found the following problems during fault injection:

loop_init() is calling loop_add() after __register_blkdev() succeeds and
is ignoring disk_add() failure from loop_add(), for loop_add() failure
is not fatal and successfully created disks are already visible to
bdev_open().

brd_init() is currently calling brd_alloc() before __register_blkdev()
succeeds and is releasing successfully created disks when brd_init()
returns an error. This can cause UAF for the latter two case:

case 1:
    T1:
modprobe brd
  brd_init
    brd_alloc(0) // success
      add_disk
        disk_scan_partitions
          bdev_file_open_by_dev // alloc file
          fput // won't free until back to userspace
    brd_alloc(1) // failed since mem alloc error inject
  // error path for modprobe will release code segment
  // back to userspace
  __fput
    blkdev_release
      bdev_release
        blkdev_put_whole
          bdev->bd_disk->fops->release // fops is freed now, UAF!

case 2:
    T1:                            T2:
modprobe brd
  brd_init
    brd_alloc(0) // success
                                   open(/dev/ram0)
    brd_alloc(1) // fail
  // error path for modprobe

                                   close(/dev/ram0)
                                   ...
                                   /* UAF! */
                                   bdev->bd_disk->fops->release

Fix this problem by following what loop_init() does. Besides,
reintroduce brd_devices_mutex to help serialize modifications to
brd_list.
