block: clarify badblocks lifetime
The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object. Do not automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing devm_init_badblocks(). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
