PM / Hibernate: Replace bdget call with simple atomic_inc of i_count

Create bdgrab().  This function copies an existing reference to a
block_device.  It is safe to call from any context.

Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep.  It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).
