Neil Brown 54b0d12769 block: fix bug in ptbl lookup cache

   Hi Jens,

    I've found a little bug for you.  It was introduced by
        a6f23657d3

        block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup

    and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble
    an md array :-(
    One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always
    deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it
    can cause confusion).  The next IO to that device locks the machine.
    I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in
    disk_map_sector_rcu().  This patch fixes it.

Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup
data. So clear that when we delete a partition.
