dm is a bit special in that it opens the underlying devices. Commit
89f871af1b26 ("dm: delay registering the gendisk") tried to accommodate
that by allowing to add the holder to the list before add_gendisk and
then just add them to sysfs once add_disk is called. But that leads to
really odd lifetime problems and error handling problems as we can't
know the state of the kobjects and don't unwind properly. To fix this
switch to just registering all existing table_devices with the holder
code right after add_disk, and remove them before calling del_gendisk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
