[PATCH v1] block: partition: initialize percpuref before new partition is visiable

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>]

The initialization of partition's percpu_ref should have been done before
the new partition is updated to partition table via
rcu_assign_pointer(), otherwise the uninitialized percpu_ref may be accessed
in data path.

This patch fixes this issue reported by Naveen.

V1:
	- put 'if' around the actual device_remove_file at the label
	as suggested by Christoph
	- make commit log more accurate
