The initialization of partition's percpu_ref should have been done before
sending out KOBJ_ADD uevent, which may cause userspace to read partition
table. So the uninitialized percpu_ref may be accessed in data path.

This patch fixes this issue reported by Naveen.

I'd rather have that if around the actual device_remove_file at the
label, and jump to out_remove_file unconditionally.

Otherwise this looks fine to me.

OK, looks better.
