Yang Erkun f83f330fc4 block: retry call probe after request_module in blk_request_module ...

[ Upstream commit 457ef47c08 ]

Set kernel config:

 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m
 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=0

Do latter:

 mknod loop0 b 7 0
 exec 4<> loop0

Before commit e418de3abc ("block: switch gendisk lookup to a simple
xarray"), lookup_gendisk will first use base_probe to load module loop,
and then the retry will call loop_probe to prepare the loop disk. Finally
open for this disk will success. However, after this commit, we lose the
retry logic, and open will fail with ENXIO. Block device autoloading is
deprecated and will be removed soon, but maybe we should keep open success
until we really remove it. So, give a retry to fix it.

Fixes: e418de3abc ("block: switch gendisk lookup to a simple xarray")
